Abstract

Aim

This paper aims to describe an intracorporeal tourniquet method for laparoscopic Pringle maneuver (PM).

Methods

One shortened Foley tube with side-hole on the tip was put into the abdomen. Then, the tail was pulled out through the side-hole to make a loop to encircle porta hepatis for inflow control.

Result

It is easy to keep the tension by a metallic clip, and when released, the clip can be removed and the loop loosened.

Conclusion

Therefore, PM could be performed inside the abdomen without special instrument nor extra trocar port. The intracorporeal Pringle maneuver with Huang’s loop could be routinely used during laparoscopic liver resection even for a laparoscopic beginner because it is so easily learnt, safe, and effective.
