Truncated responses round 1

Truncated response	Reasoning
Prior to tumor resection:	Summarized within existing principles
“Consideration of use of bulldog clamps if hilar anatomy demonstrates multiple vessels. Use of en-bloc clamp may not occlude multiple arteries, while allowing the vein to be clamped”
“Ensuring good correlation between computed tomography findings of number of vessels and intraoperative findings”
During tumor resection:	Captured within “during renorrhaphy”
“Running suture layer of the base layer”
During renorrhaphy:	Summarized within existing principles or excluded as within basic surgical skills
“Technique of suturing should be mastered”
“Two-layer closure with barbed suture, when possible”
“Don’t place parenchymal (first layer) sutures too deep (can hit larger vessels)”
“Use of hemostatic agents should be PRN only”
“Lysine analogs”
“Bringing cortex together. Not putting surgicel in the defect.”
“Horizontal mattress closure”
