Figure 4.

Histopathological findings of hepatic remnant near proximal hepatic margin and distal hepatic margins. Findings at 6 h after 80% hepatectomy are shown by hematoxylin and eosin staining at 100 × magnification. A: No findings suggested obstructions in hepatic remnant near proximal hepatic margin of hepatectomy by suture technique; B: In distal hepatic margin of hepatectomy by suture technique, severe ischemia and massive necrosis are confirmed; C: No findings suggested obstructions by hemostatic clip itself in clip-touched hepatic remnant near proximal hepatic margin of hepatectomy by clip technique; D: In distal hepatic margin of hepatectomy by clip technique, severe ischemia and massive necrosis are confirmed.
