title: [Selective exclusion of hepatic outflow and inflow in hepatectomy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To improve the resectable rate of massive hepatic tumors and operative tolerance of hepatectomy in the treatment of advanced liver cancers.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sixteen cases of massive hepatic tumors were reviewed. The selective exclusion of hepatic outflow and inflow in hepatectomy was discussed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All the patients had normal course after the operative procedure and no hepatic coma or other severe hepatic disturbances were observed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  While the selective exclusion of hepatic outflow and inflow were applied, the resectable rate of massive hepatic tumors and operative tolerance of hepatectomy were improved.
