Abstract
Background: Technical refinements, better understanding of hepatic architecture and functions, advancements in surgical and anesthetic techniques and equipments and development of intensive care units have decreased morbidity and mortality rates following hepatic resections. However; profuse hemorrhage and air embolism remain major risks during major hepatic resections for large hepatic tumors, particularly those located centrally or close to the hepatic veins or inferior vena cava. The correlation of intraoperative bleeding with short and long term outcome of hepatic resection has been repeatedly confirmed.
