OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the management of injured retrohepatic inferior vena cava during hepatectomy for neoplasm.


METHODS
Step-by-step hepatic vascular exclusion, finger pressing, finger pinching, and surface-to-surface sewing up were used in the management of injured retrohepatic inferior vena cava in 16 cases of hepatic resection.


RESULTS
In all cases, bleeding was stopped immediately after the procedure without any death and rebleeding. All cases survived after 6 - 18 month follow-up.


CONCLUSIONS
The methods mentioned above are simple, useful, time-saving, safe and effective.
