title: [Hepatic segmentectomy using microwave tissue coagulator].
abstract: Hepatic segmentectomy using a microwave tissue coagulator guided by intraoperative ultrasonography is a new operative procedure, which our research unit was the first to start using from 1990. Up to now we have performed this kind of operation with success in 26 cases. Our results suggested that the new procedure simplified the original operation and greatly reduced the risk of hemorrhage and iatrogenic spread of the cancer cells during operation. Besides, this operation as a kind of definite anatomic hepatectomy can minimally resect the tumor bearing tissue in a radical fashion, while maximally preserve the tumor-free tissue of the liver.
