Official title:
Comparative Study on Liver Resection Between Harmonic Scalpel Versus Crush-clamping Method: A Prospective Randomized Study
Blood loss during liver resection significantly associates with short term operative outcome. The median blood loss during partial liver resection is 700-1200ml in high-volume centers. Conventional method (crush-clamp) has been a standard technique for liver transection. Technique advances related to liver transection have contributed to reduction in blood loss. Several studies have showed that Harmonic Scalpel in liver resection is safe and easy to use. A nonrandomized study showed use of the Harmonic Scalpel was associated with decreased operative time, blood loss and transfusion requirement, and an increased incidence of postoperative bile leakage. However, no randomized study has compared the difference between liver resection using traditional technology and harmonic Scalpel. The objective of this prospective randomized study is to compare the safety and efficacy of liver resection using the harmonic scalpel device with the "crush-clamp" technique in respect to blood loss, liver transection time, hepatic hilum clamping time, hospital stay and postoperative complications.

liver resection using the harmonic scalpel device with the "crush-clamp" technique in
respect to blood loss, liver transection time, hepatic hilum clamping time, hospital stay
and postoperative complications. All patients submitted to liver resection are randomized
into two groups: those submitted to liver resection with the use of "crush-clamp" technique.
(group Α) and those with the use of the Harmonic Scalpel device (group Β).
Crush-clamping Method (group A) :Patients submitted to liver resection with the use of
"crush-clamping" technique.
Device: Liver parenchymal is crushed by surgeon's fingers or basic surgical clamps to
isolate small vessels and biliary radicals, and then divided by suture ligation,
electrocautery, or vascular clips.
Harmonic Scalpel (group B) :Patients submitted to liver resection with the use of the
Harmonic Scalpel device.Device: liver parenchymal transection is transected by harmonic
scalpel, and small vessels and biliary radicals (<3mm) is also divided by harmonic scalpel.
Vessels and biliary radicals (≥ 3mm) were divided by suture ligation, electrocautery, or
vascular clips.
Primary Outcome Measures:
Blood loss during operation [an expected average of 3 hours] operation][Designated as safety
issue: Yes] Postoperative complications including bile leakage, bleeding, morbidity, injured
Liver function [Time Frame: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay,
an expected average of 8 days] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
Transection time from Mark of the cutting edge to finish disposed of the cutting edge
[Designated as safety issue: No] Hepatic hilar clamping time (Pringle's method) [the
duration of clamping of hepatic hilar] [Designated as safety issue: No] Hospital stay
[participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8
days] [Designated as safety issue: No] Enrollment: 128 Study Start Date: June 2014 Study
Completion Date: May 2015 Primary Completion Date: May 2015 (Final data collection date for
primary outcome measure)
