Summary
This study tests if a special 'White Test' during liver surgery can help find and fix bile leaks better than the usual method. About 260 adults having planned liver surgery will be randomly assigned to either the White Test or standard gauze test. The goal is to see if the White Test reduces the number of bile leaks after surgery.
