Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Hepatic resection has evolved significantly over the past two decades.
  • Improved understanding of liver anatomy and surgical techniques have reduced operative mortality rates to 1-5%.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the safety and efficacy of hepatic resection for various hepatobiliary diseases.
  • To discuss evolving indications and advanced surgical approaches for liver resections.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current surgical techniques for hepatic resection.
  • Discussion of anesthetic approaches, including low central venous pressure (CVP) anesthesia.
  • Evaluation of parenchymal-sparing techniques and preoperative portal vein embolization (PVE).

Main Results:

  • Hepatic resection is a safe and effective therapy for a broad spectrum of liver conditions.
  • Low CVP anesthesia with inflow/outflow control yields excellent results.
  • Parenchymal-sparing techniques and PVE can reduce morbidity in select patients.

Conclusions:

  • Hepatic resection is a well-established, safe, and effective treatment for liver diseases.
  • Parenchymal-sparing approaches and PVE are crucial for optimizing outcomes.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are emerging for peripheral lesions, with future expansion anticipated.
