ZK 592 EN Partial Liver Resection

Resection phase: due to the ablation with the scalpel the assessment of the resection margin is not compromized. Large tumor involving segment V to segment VI, right lobe of liver: Liver forceps already placed and compression sutures started. Specimen: metastasis of an acinic cell carcinoma of the pancreas. Resection plane, beginning with the elect- rical cauterisation. Final aspect after application of a hemos- typtic fleece (VeriSet®). Special Instruments for Partial Liver Resection Liver Forceps acc. to Beckurts Function and design optimized for anatomical requirements Strong jaws for secure clamping of the liver Inner surfaces of the working ends with particularly grippy and atraumatic serration Flattened jaw flanks as an orientation aid for performing the mattress sutures Sufficiently long ratchet with multiple teeth for secure fixation suitable for a large variety of organ thicknesses Liver forceps in surgical use The liver forceps acc. to Beckurts are designed for use by the experienced surgeon as an aid in performing partial liver resections for gentle and effective parenchymal compression. In combination with mattress sutures, bloodless and time-saving resections can be performed, if the tumor is in a suitable position. The precondition for the use of the liver forceps is a position of the tumor that allows safe clamping and at the same time does not jeopardize central liver structures. The resulting resection surfaces are very suitable for histologic assessment. After tumor removal and placement of penetrating parenchymal sutures, as well as securing local haemostasis at the resection site by ligating larger vessels and bile ducts and coagulating the remaining tissue, the liver forceps is removed. Two forceps can be used in combination for large tumors, especially in the right liver lobe. flattened jaw flanks long ratchet extra gripping jaws Liver forceps acc. to Beckurts „large Model“ 11 ½“ RU 6800-00 Liver forceps acc. to Beckurts „small Model“ 9 ¾“ RU 6800-10 Developed in collaboration with Prof. Dr. med.
