    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery

    Context:

    • In 1981, 77 liver resections were conducted across Swiss university and hospital surgical departments.
    • Liver metastases, particularly from colorectal cancer, were the primary indication for these procedures.
    • Lobectomy (hemihepatectomy) was the most frequent surgical approach.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the trends and outcomes of liver resections performed in Switzerland in 1981.
    • To compare these findings with historical data from Zurich University Hospital (1961-1981).

    Summary:

    • A total of 77 liver resections were performed in Switzerland in 1981.
    • The leading indication was liver metastases, especially from colorectal carcinomas.
    • Overall postoperative lethality was 6.6%, with zero lethality specifically for metastasis resections.

    Impact:

    • The study underscores the significant role of liver resection in managing liver metastases.
    • The findings suggest that liver resection for metastases is a safe and effective procedure with favorable outcomes.
    • This data provides valuable insights into the practice of hepatobiliary surgery in Switzerland during the early 1980s.
