A technique of compressing the liver parenchyma without interfering with the blood supply to the remainder of the liver during anatomic and nonanatomic resections is presented. Two grooved nylon strips fitted into each other to form an ellipse that is tightened near the resection line permits the parenchymal incision in an unhurried and practically bloodless manner.
