Abstract
ALTHOUGH recent progress in surgical techniques and perioperative management has reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with liver surgery,1,2 bile leakage is still one of the most common complications leading to a prolonged hospital stay. The rate of bile leakage after hepatic resection has been reported to be 6% to 11%2-6 and, to our knowledge, there are no standardized methods for its prevention.Keywords
