A laparoscopic staged hepatectomy using round-the-liver ligation is carried out includes: (1) a laparoscopic operation is performed with general anesthesia using round-the-liver ligation, the branches of the portal vein of the hemiliver are ligated, a tourniquet is used to tighten the connecting part between the right and left hemilivers to block the communicating blood flow between the hemiliver to be removed and the hemiliver to be reserved, a drainage tube is put into the peritoneal cavity, then close the peritoneal cavity; (2) the patient gradually resumes eating after the first operation, and recuperate to make the volume of the hemiliver increase to an expected volume; (3) after the hemiliver increases to the expected volume, a laparoscopic liver resection is carried out with general anesthesia to remove the diseased hemiliver, and then the patient is nursed to be completely recovered. An instrument for implementing the laparoscopic staged hepatectomy is also disclosed.

Completely laparoscopic staged hepatectomy using round-the-liver ligation and its instrument

An absorbable and unidirectionally compressible intestinal anastomosis device, including a first through pipe portion and a second through pipe portion respectively including large ends and small ends; the large ends are used for fixing an intestinal canal; and the small end of the second through pipe portion is inserted into the small end of the first through pipe portion. The two large ends are drawn close to each other to achieve an intestine-intestine anastomosis. The outer sides of circular rings at the ends of the small ends of the first through pipe portion and the second through pipe portion are provided with gradually-expanded elastic horn-shaped openings. The device can make two stapled intestinal canals rest relatively, thereby avoiding adjustments required in other assembling modes.
