Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Surgical oncology
  • Diagnostic imaging

Background:

  • Hepatic surgery addresses primary liver cancers (hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma) with curative intent.
  • Surgery for metastatic liver disease (endocrine, colorectal) is palliative, focusing on survival and quality of life.
  • Accurate patient selection is crucial for successful hepatic interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the role of imaging in hepatic surgery for malignant disease.
  • To detail how imaging guides surgical decisions for primary and metastatic liver tumors.
  • To emphasize the goal of providing surgeons with critical anatomical information.

Main Methods:

  • Multimodality imaging approach including sonography, CT, MRI, MRCP, and isotope imaging.

  • Imaging defines tumor characteristics: site, size, multiplicity, and relation to hepatic anatomy.
  • Evaluation for extrahepatic metastatic disease is a key component of the imaging workup.

    • Main Results:

    • Imaging provides essential anatomical data for surgical planning.
    • Defines resectability and guides choice between resection, ablation, or chemoembolization.
    • Facilitates achieving negative margins in curative resections.

    Conclusions:

    • Multimodality imaging is vital for selecting patients for hepatic surgery.
    • Imaging supports achieving optimal outcomes in both curative and palliative hepatic interventions.
    • Informed surgical decisions lead to improved patient survival and quality of life.
