Problems of precision hepatic surgery in nowadays

Abstract

With the era of precision hepatic surgery coming, the hepatic surgery has been promoted to brand-new level, which would be more accurate and meticulous. However, all those advances, such as super-thin computed tomography scan, three-dimensional imaging and the technology of three-dimensional printing, have not promoted the clinic results for patients overtly. The optimal curative effect could be attained, if there is a perfect combination of operators′ experience and those advanced imaging. For two issues, the time of vascular inflow occlusion and residual hepatic volume, operators could flexiblely use of clinic existing researches with surgical team and instruments according to the medical condition of patients. Precision hepatic surgery could be promoted to a higher level through constantly clinical research and innovations. Key words: Liver diseases; Precision hepatic surgery; Vascular inflow occlusion; Residual hepatic volume
