Popis:	The technique of liver resection is well standardized, but recent reports still show that major liver resection is associated with an operative mortality of 4–20%. We recently compared the Nd:YAG laser and the Cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator (CUSA) with the routine blunt dissection method of performing a liver resection (1). The non-contact Nd:YAG laser resulted in a significant reduction in operating time compared to the other two methods (p
