Simple and reproducible hepatectomy in the mouse using the clip technique

Figure 2 Survival outcomes in 80% hepatectomy after initial training. A: In 80% hepatectomy by suture technique, survival curves of each 10 cases at early term in training are shown; B: In 80% hepatectomy by the clip technique, survival curves of each 10 cases at early term in training are shown; C: In each technique, operative time was investigated in 20 cases of 80% hepatectomy. These data were corrected by experienced surgeons. Operative times of 80% hepatectomy by suture and clip techniques were significantly different (P < 0.0001). NS: Not significant.
