title: [The use of a new type of haemostatic forceps in trauma of the liver (author's transl)].
abstract: Clamping of the hepatic pedicle is an emergency act, limited in time and ineffective in cases of vena cava-hepatic vein reflux. The single forceps suggested are particularly well suited to the morphology of the right lobe, affected in 70% of cases of liver trauma, providing equipotential parenchymatous stereocompression. They have the advantage of being selective, complete, and reversible, and may be applied for an indefinite period. They provide rapid biliostasis and haemostasis and provide time for thorough exploration of the abdominal cavity without any risk of total hepatic ischaemia.
