    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the management of injured retrohepatic inferior vena cava during hepatectomy for neoplasm. METHODS: Step-by-step hepatic vascular exclusion, finger pressing, finger pinching, and surface-to-surface sewing up were used in the management of injured retrohepatic inferior vena cava in 16 cases of hepatic resection. RESULTS: In all cases, bleeding was stopped immediately after the procedure without any death and rebleeding. All cases survived after 6 - 18 month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: The methods mentioned above are simple, useful, time-saving, safe and effective.
