How is it disconnected from the liver and ducts?
A. The ends are clipped with titanium clips, which is a non reactive element. The safety and superiority of titanium has been proved over 50 years in its use for various purposes in the body in India and abroad. It is also possible to tie these structures like it is done during open surgery. This procedure is slightly more difficult technically and at present is being done by few surgeons only who are doing mini/micro-laparoscopic surgery, which is going to become the standard method in the 21st century.
