Abstract
We present a simple technique of nonanatomic resection of liver parenchyma for porcelain gallbladder infiltrating gallbladder bed, that is, segments IVb and V of the liver. The resection has been carried out with the use of straight 18-gauge stainless steel multi-use needle designed for hepatic resections (Chang's needle). This simple, safe, and cost-effective technique can be used for nonanatomic liver resections by surgeons less experienced in liver surgery.Keywords: Liver resection; Porcelain gallbladder
