Title: Comparison of operative outcomes between monopolar and bipolar coagulation in
hepatectomy: a propensity score-matched analysis in a single center
Version: 3 Date: 08 Mar 2022
Reviewer:  Chikato Koga
Reviewer's report:
I think that it is well described in response to the points from each reviewer.
I was interested in the fact that there was no difference between the two groups in Grade>3
ascites, although the incidence rate of ascites was higher in the monopolar group.
The criteria of drain removal and  the duration of the intraabdominal drainage  are not stated.
I think that the incidence rates of ascites may change depending on the duration of the
intraabdominal drainage.
