    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Surgical techniques for hepatic resection are advancing, leading to decreased mortality and morbidity.
    • This trend broadens the indications for resecting malignant liver diseases.
    • Accurate preoperative assessment and definition of resectability are crucial for successful outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the preoperative assessment and resectability criteria for malignant liver lesions.
    • To detail the indications for surgical intervention and present the obtained results.
    • To present the authors' personal experience with liver malignancy resections at a specialized hepatobiliary unit.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of surgical procedures performed for malignant liver lesions.
