Advancements in liver resection techniques, including understanding liver anatomy and using methods like the Pringle maneuver and ultrasonic dissection, enable safer surgeries. Specialized units perform these liver resections with low morbidity and mortality.
Area of Science:
- Hepatobiliary Surgery
- Surgical Oncology
Background:
- Increasing volume of hepatic resections necessitates a review of current techniques.
- Liver cancer and metastatic disease are common indications for liver resection.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess available techniques for liver resection.
- To evaluate the application of these techniques in clinical practice.
Main Methods:
- Comprehensive literature review using Medline database.
- Keywords: liver resection, liver neoplasm, cancer, colorectal metastases, hepatocellular carcinoma.
Main Results:
- Enhanced understanding of liver segmental anatomy has driven technique evolution.
- New biliovascular approaches and ischemic demarcation aid in defining resection margins.
- Combined vascular control (e.g., Pringle maneuver) and parenchymal dissection (e.g., ultrasonic) minimize blood loss and complications.
Conclusions:
- Refined liver resection techniques, applied by specialized teams, ensure safe procedures on both normal and cirrhotic livers.
- Low morbidity and mortality rates are achievable with current advanced methods.
