Abstract
In liver resection, prolonged operating time and massive intraoperative hemorrhage, which are related to the level of training, skill, and surgical instruments, are associated with higher mortality and morbidity. But there seems to be a conflict between operating time and precise surgical anatomy. Classical surgical procedures must be manipulated separately by the operator and the assistant, such as cutting, coagulation, dissection, and suction. Reducing the time spent on these procedures would be of great help for the operation.
