Abstract
Background – Children who present for liver resection are a challenge to anesthesiologists. They require adequate preoperative assessment and planning to improve their postoperative outcomes. A balanced technique providing organ protective anesthesia and hemodynamic stability ensures optimal surgical results. Anaesthesia for hep Result: atic resection has seen great changes with improvements in surgical technique and a better understanding of the underlying physiology. Good communication and interdisciplinary strategization between the pediatric oncologist, surgeon and the anesthesiologist also facilitate a good outcome. A retrospective review was performed on 20 cases of pediatric hepatoblastoma planned for partial hepatectomy in a pediatric tertiary care center in South India, over a 3-year period. Conclusion: In this study, general anesthesia with epidural analgesia and goal directed uid management with monitoring of central venous pressure and mean blood pressure during liver resection was found to be acceptable for pediatric liver resection without any signicant complications
