Pringle maneuvar to arrest hehemorrhage is: (A) Clamping of poal vein, (B) Clamping of hepatic aery, (C) Clamping of hepatic vein, (D) Clamping of hepatoduodenal ligament
Answer is D. Pringle manoeuvre is used to control hemorrhage by clamping the hepatoduodenal ligament and compressing the poal triad,thereby reducing aerial and venous inflow into the liver.But it doesn't control the backflow from inferior vena cava and hepatic veins.
