Experimental and numerical investigation of waterjet interaction with liver in connection with surgical technique.

ABSTRACT: Hepatectomy, or liver resection, is a process by which through surgery part or all of the liver is removed. In this operation, less bleeding, negligible damage and fast removal are the most important requirements. Surgery through waterjet is one of the most efficient techniques which is widely used in hepatectomy. Some clinical studies are conducted to investigate waterjet method in liver resection. In the present study interaction of waterjet with liver during the process of the surgery is investigated in terms of mechanical engineering. For this purpose, a system of waterjet is designed to consider the interaction of waterjet with liver at different nozzle diameter and velocities. For validation, SPH-FEM model is used to analyze waterjet interaction with hyperelastic liver. In this model
