title: [The finger fracture technique in hepatic resection].
abstract: The main complementary techniques for "finger fracture" in liver resections are evaluated. It is retained that transparenchymal resections should be limited to segmental resections (uni-, bi- or trisegmentectomies), while in case of extensive resections (lobectomy or extensive lobectomy) an operation with extraparenchymal preparation of the hepatic pedicle and possibly of the suprahepatic vein is preferable. Lastly a casuistry of 24 hepatic resections for primary or metastatic tumours is presented.
