title: Liver transection using vascular stapler: a review.
abstract: The clinical experience using a novel technique of liver resection with vascular staplers for dissection of hepatic parenchyma, was documented most recently in a prospective manner. These data have clearly demonstrated for the first time that stapler hepatectomy is a safe and fast dissection technique in major liver surgery (e.g. hepatectomy) which is feasible in a routine clinical setting.
