title: [Study of the hepatic tolerance towards normothermic occlusion of total blood flow during hepatectomy].
abstract: In this report, duration of normothermic occlusion of total hepatic blood flow varied from 20 to 60 minutes averaging 35 minutes during hepatectomy in 27 patients. There was no mortality within 30 days postoperation, nor post-operative encephalopathy, though transient and slight SGPT elevations were observed in the majority of patients, and in two cases marked elevations were found to last for 20 and 44 days respectively. The authors discussed the hepatic tolerance towards total occlusion of blood supply at room temperature.
