AIM: To investigate a different approach in liver trauma, that preserves as much liver parenchyma aspossible, exposing only the injured area to ischemia and reperfusion. MATHERIAL AND METHODS:Medline and pubMed search from 1980 to 2010 about the glissonian approach , including, liver, surgery,trauma, portal vein and hepatic artery as key-words .RESULTS: The glissonian approach is feasible, nottechnically demanding, and the key for the success is the knowledge of the anatomical landmarks in theliver surface, to facilitate the surgeon to obtain a fast control of the injured area without compromising theliver flow to the non traumatic area. CONCLUSION: The glissonian approach represents another toolthat can be performed in liver trauma setting to minimize complications related to the non-anatomicalremoval of parenchyma and blinded-ligaturesDownloads
