    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Hepatic resections are complex procedures for various liver diseases.
    • Understanding outcomes is crucial for surgical decision-making.
    • Data from Hong Kong's University Surgical Unit provides valuable insights.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of hepatic resections performed between 1964 and 1974.
    • To assess the overall mortality and long-term survival rates.
    • To differentiate outcomes based on the underlying liver condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 125 hepatic resection cases.
    • Data collected from the University Surgical Unit at Queen Mary Hospital.
    • Mortality defined as death before hospital discharge.

    Main Results:

    • An overall mortality rate of 17.6% was recorded.
    • Successful long-term survival was observed after resection for primary liver cancer.
    • Zero mortality was associated with resections for benign liver conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Hepatic resection can achieve long-term survival for primary liver cancer.
    • Resection of benign liver conditions carries no operative mortality.
    • Surgical management of liver diseases requires careful consideration of pathology.
