Abstract
One of the great difficulties in the development of surgery of parenchymal organs is the control of bleeding during dissection. This can be accomplished by cutting within intersegmental planes or by temporary occlusion of the vessels. Selective separation of tissue from vessels and fibrous structures is possible by focused ultrasonic energy (e.g., CUSA-System), which has found increasing application in liver and brain surgery. Another possibility of selective dissection is the method of water-jet cutting.
