GONZALEZ GONZALEZ, José Luis; COPO JORGE, José Antonio; MENENDEZ NUNEZ, Joaquín e GONZALEZ VILLALONGA, Jesús. Bipolar radiofrequency-assisted liver resection and first experiences with Surtron SB equipment. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2014, vol.53, n.1, pp. 76-83. ISSN 0034-7493.
Primary and secondary liver resections have transoperative bleeding as one of its major dilemmas. The introduction of radiofrequency equipment, mainly Surtron SB, begins to bring about encouraging results. The first eight cases of minor and major resections in Cuba by using this piece of equipment were presented. Seven patients had metastasis and one hepatocarcinoma. Two standard and 6 atypical resections were performed with no complications and just one patient needing blood transfusion.
