Application of the welding method for biological tissues in hepatobiliary surgery was experimentally substantiated. In 14 pigs (25-30 kg body mass) resection of one hepatic lobe, using electric welding method, was done. In control group (4 pigs) the similar operative intervention was accomplished, using conventional method. Application of the electric welding method guarantees secure hemostasis and cholestasis, do not causes specific pathological changes in the adjacent region of affection tissues, speed of restoration of the structures damaged exceeds such in application of the suturing method.
