Resumo

Background In recent years liver resection has increasingly been performed. Bleeding and hepatic acute failure, secondary to vascular inflow occlusion (Pringle’s manoeuvre), remain significant complications; these problems seem to be higher in older patients and in those with cirrhosis. Several surgical tools such as CUSA, Harmonic scalpel, Bipolar scissors, Ligasure diathermy, have been developed to decrease blood loss. Another device, based on radiofrequency, was proposed by Habib.1 The aim of our study was to evaluate Habib’s procedure and its influence in the outcomes of patients.
