Intermittent Pringle's maneuver is widely used to limit blood loss during hepatectomy, without an established time-limit. However, many authors claims its danger for patients' outcome. The investigators check the short term outcome of a consecutive cohort of patients who underwent hepatectomy with intermittent clamping exceeding 120 minutes.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients in whom total cumulative clamping time exceeded 60 minutes.

Exclusion Criteria:

• patients in whom total cumulative clamping time was less than 60 minutes

Among 426 consecutive patients who underwent hepatectomy, we retrospectively selected 189 patients with clamping time exceeded 60 minutes: 117 having intermittent Pringle maneuver less 120 minutes and 72 having clamping time exceeding 120 minutes were analysed.
