Title: A safe and simple exposure and Pringle maneuver in laparoscopic anatomical liver
resection of segment 7
Version: 2 Date: 21 May 2023
Reviewer's report:
1. More language corrections is needed before the publication
2. Self-designed laparoscopic first hepatic hilum occlusion device should be described more
clearly.
A. What is the benefit/difference and efficacy compared to existing method?
B. Is the difference from the existing method is the location of the incision? Difference of the
materials used? Could it be more clearly stated?
C. How does the rotation of the liver achieved? Could it be described more clearly?
3.  If there is risk of crushing tumor, how do you compare the safety and result of the operations
with and without crushing?
4. Some statements in the conclusion part seems to be better discussed in discussion session.
5. It could be more helpful when the video shows how to apply the device and how it rotates the
liver more clearly. Conclusion seems not matching the aim of the study well. Can you please
match more clearly?
