Popis: Recently, the laparoscopic approach has been used more frequently for liver resection due to the rapid development of innovative laparoscopic instruments and improvements in surgical skills. To control bleeding from liver parenchyma is important in laparoscopic surgical procedures. Microwave energy is a safe and effective coagulation device to achieve good hemostasis during hepatic resection with both open and laparoscopic techniques. We describe the method of laparoscopic liver resection using flexible-type needle and spatula-type electrodes of a microwave tissue coagulator. This technique is safe and bleeding can be easily controlled.
