Figure 2.
A modified method for laparoscopic Pringle maneuver. Laparoscopic encircling of the hepatoduodenal ligament is carried out using a urinary catheter (approximately 10 cm in length, A), which is then clamped with a hem-o-lok clip to prevent loosening (B). For total inflow control, the catheter is pulled up alternatively using two dissecting forceps for several times and then clamped with another hem-o-lok clip close to the hepatoduodenal ligament to tighten it up (C). To relieve occlusion, the second hem-o-lok clip (close to the hepatoduodenal ligament) is transected by an ultrasound scalpel (D).
