Abstract | Liver resection remains to be the curative treatment of choice for both malignant and benign liver tumors. With advances in hepatic surgery and operative technique, liver resection has evolved from a rough and hasty procedure to a fine and delicate operation. Such surgical advances have resulted in a dramatic reduction of operative mortality, from over 50 % in early series [1] to less than 10 % in recent decades [2–4], and targeting “zero” mortality has even become a realistic goal to achieve [5]. However, the postoperative complication rate remains largely unchanged over the years despite a reduction in operative mortality and is in the range of 20–30 %. Liver failure, bile leakage, and sepsis are serious complications that can lead to a fatal outcome. In this chapter, we will present our approach for prevention, diagnosis, and management of these complications. |
