Hepatic inflow occlusion for liver resection
▪️Variability between surgeons
▪️No association with periop 🩸transfusion
▪️No association with postop morbidity

➡️Further work needed to understand use by surgeons & impact

Surg onc/HPB fellow Alejandro Branes at #AHPBA24

Unplanned ICU admission after hepatectomy (from #HELIX data)
▪️⬆️ mortality
▪️Associated with comorbidities,🩸>500cc & major resection

⚠️Close monitoring with these risk factors needed
