Title: Comparison of operative outcomes between monopolar and bipolar coagulation in
hepatectomy: a propensity score-matched analysis in a single center
Version: 1 Date: 01 Feb 2022
Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors, thank you for submitting "Comparison of operative outcomes between monopolar
and bipolar coagulation in hepatectomy: a propensity score-matched analysis in a single center".
The paper shows an interesting analysis on a very debated issue.
Introduction, methods and results are well written, I have to underline it should be better if the
number of patients or institutions  would be wider. However the novelty of the type of study
justifies the publication of the paper.
Please extend the discussion citing properly "Rocca A, Cipriani F,  et al..The Italian Consensus
