    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Liver resection is a critical treatment for primary and secondary liver malignancies.
    • Assessing the safety and efficacy of different liver resection techniques is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of liver resection for primary and secondary liver cancers.
    • To compare the results of left, right, and extended right lobe resections.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 46 patients undergoing liver resection for primary or secondary liver cancer.
    • Categorization of resections by lobe: left (11), right (22), and extended right (13).
    • Evaluation of post-operative mortality and two-year survival rates.

    Main Results:

    • No post-operative mortality observed after left lobe resections.
    • Mortality rates were 9 for right lobe and 5 for extended right lobe resections.
    • Ten patients achieved two-year survival, particularly those with primary liver cancer or colorectal metastases.

    Conclusions:

    • Liver resection is a viable surgical option for select patients with liver malignancies.
    • The extent of resection influences post-operative outcomes and mortality.
    • The procedure demonstrates particular benefit for primary liver cancer and colorectal cancer metastases.
