The two hepatic inflow occlusion methods of laparoscopic enucleation for liver hemangiomas. Infrahepatic inferior vena cava clamping: A dissected suprarenal IVC above the level of renal vein, and a long vessel forceps was percutaneously inserted into the abdominal cavity and across from the back of infrahepatic inferior vena cava; B the forceps nipped a 10/0 surgical string through the infrahepatic inferior vena cava; C frap the string smoothly without bending; D a 16-Fr hard catheter connected with a 2-cm soft rubber catheter inserted along the string. Pringle maneuver: E an umbilical string passed around the hepatoduodenal ligament for inflow occlusion; F the progress was the same as infrahepatic inferior vena cava clamping
