[Liver resection in a state of normothermic ischemia].
Thirty-three patients undergoing liver resection in a state of normothermic ischemia are described: portal clamping is done in 25 cases at mean duration 41 +/- 8 min, and vascular exclusion of liver--10 cases at mean duration 44 +/- 12 min. This is a procedure accounting for a substantial reduction of intraoperative hemorrhages. In 17 patients hemotransfusion proves unnecessary, while in the remainder the amount of blood transfused averaged 1500 +/- 950 ml.
