[Diagnosis and surgical treatment of liver tumors]

The authors' experience showed that a complex of ultrasonography, computer tomography, laparoscopy and angiography assures reliable diagnosis of hepatic tumor and allows to evaluate its nature and operability. Resection of the liver is the surgical procedure of choice for hepatic tumors. Resection of varying extent was performed for 22 benign tumors yielding good immediate and end results. It was carried out in 14 patients with hepatic cancer. End results proved satisfactory, particularly, in combined application of surgery and chemotherapy.
