Abstract

Operative resection remains the principal curative treatment of patients with liver metastasis from colorectal carcinoma, pancreatic islet cell carcinoma, and primary hepatocellular carcinoma. The successful emergence of liver resection has resulted from improvements in imaging and tumor staging, a clearer understanding of hepatic anatomy and resulting surgical technique, and better management of concurrent medical problems. At present, the mortality for liver resection in patients with normal liver function should be below 5%.KeywordsInferior Vena CavaHepatic VeinHepatic ResectionCaudate LobeMiddle Hepatic VeinThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
