[The late results of liver resection in repeat operations]

Long-term results after resections of the liver in reoperated patients are described. The operations were performed on 48 patients. Four of them died (8.4%). The patients were followed-up during 1-15 years. The volume of the operations was from segment resections up to wide hemihepatectomies. Good long-term results were obtained in 82.7% of the patients, satisfactory--in 13.9%, unsatisfactory--in 3.4%. The use of cryosurgical methods in palliative resections gives better long-term results of the operations. Recurrences were noted in 17.2% of the patients. Labor rehabilitation after vast resections of the liver in reoperated patients takes place within 1.5-2.5 years.
