Complex hepatectomy, or liver resection, is increasingly common due to advances in liver cancer management. Key factors influencing outcomes include liver remnant, reconstruction needs, comorbidities, tumor extent, and proximity to vital structures.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Surgical oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Context:

  • Advances in liver cancer management have expanded the scope of surgical resection.
  • The concept of complex hepatectomy is now a critical consideration in clinical practice.

Purpose:

  • To review the current state of complex hepatectomy.
  • To identify key factors influencing peri-operative complications and long-term survival in liver resections.

Summary:

  • Five major factors determine hepatectomy complexity: residual liver volume/quality, need for vascular/biliary reconstruction, patient comorbidities, tumor extent, and tumor proximity to vascular/biliary structures.
  • These factors directly impact peri-operative complications and long-term patient survival.
  • Careful pre-operative planning, surgical execution, and post-operative follow-up are essential for successful complex hepatectomy.
