MODEL RELEASED. Liver surgery. Close-up of a piece of liver tissue that has been removed (resectioned) during liver surgery. This surgery was carried out on a 55-year-old man who had obstructive jaundice and a suspected liver malignancy. Activated thrombin was used on the cut surface of the liver to obtain haemostasis (stemming of bleeding). The device used for the resectioning was a cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator (CUSA),which uses ultrasound technology to allow dissection with minimal blood loss. Subsequent histological inspection showed chronic inflammation only,with no malignancy | |
