Description

Hepatic surgery has undergone significant changes and advancements over the last two decades. Innovative and cutting-edge technologies for performing homeostasis and dissection, improved imaging techniques, laparoscopy for resections and better medications are now the mainstay of modern hepatic surgery. The surgical resection of the liver is known as hepatectomy. It involves partial resections of hepatic tissue, removal of the liver for liver transplantation and hepatoportoenterostomy. Most hepatectomies are performed for the treatment of malignant and benign hepatic neoplasms, parasitic cysts of the liver or intrahepatic gallstones. It is a major surgery that requires general anesthesia. This book presents the complex subject of hepatic surgery in the most comprehensible language. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on hepatic surgery have been included in this book. It will be a valuable source of reference for hepatologists, gastroenterologists, residents and students alike.
