[Our experience on the surgery of liver tumors]

Personal experience of liver surgery for benign and malignant pathology is reported. The type of operation and results obtained in relation to mortality and possible intra- and postoperative complications are considered. The extraparenchymal and transparenchymal techniques are both considered valid but in approaching the vascular structures the former is preferred because it permits preliminary vascular monitoring. The results obtained are similar to those of other series reported in the literature.
