title: [Technique and results of hepatic resection (author's transl)].
abstract: 12 major hepatic resections are described. There were two postoperative deaths. 4 patients received more than two blood units intra- or immediately postoperatively (maximal blood loss 5000 and 4400 ml resp.). In 5 patients the operative procedure was performed in hemodilution, in these patients the maximal transfusion rate ranged to one blood unit. In nearly all patients a subphrenic collection of bile, blood and secretion was observed, but this was well treated conservatively. The various operative procedures, the possibility to avoid blood loss during hepatic resection and the concept of biliary drainage are discussed.
