Core Tip	Total hepatic vascular exclusion (THVE) is needed for resection of liver tumors involving inferior vena cava (IVC). Because THVE has a high risk of morbidity, compared to inflow occlusion alone, its dura-tion should be shortened. The technical modi-fications reported here minimized the risk of damage of THVE. Specifically, the procedures include the retrocaval liver lifting maneuver, switching of the cranial IVC cross-clamp, and oblique IVC cross-clamping. For the 8 patients retrospectively assessed, the duration of THVE was 13.4 ± 8.4 min, which was remarkably shorter than that reported previously. Postoperative recovery was smooth for all patients, without severe complications.
