Abstract | Liver surgery has been evolving over the past years,
and complication and mortality rates have gone down
markedly. It has become one of the safest surgeries when
strict selection criteria are applied. This relies on accurate
and reliable preoperative assessment of liver function and
the anatomical location of tumor, as well as its relationship to important vascular structures. Precise volumetric
measurement of liver segments also allows better prediction of a successful liver resection. Various ways of embolization of the right portal vein can hypertrophy the future
liver remnant, increasing the safety profile markedly. At
the same time, more and more evidence has shown that
laparoscopic surgery can be the standard of care for most
liver tumors. This can only be done with the help of advanced technologies, including different energy sources
for parenchymal transection and stapling devices for major pedicle and vascular control. On the other hand, liver
transplantation is the definitive treatment for liver cirrhosis and its complications. There is evidence that the application of liver transplantation can be extended to some
controversial diseases, such as cholangiocarcinoma and
colorectal cancers. Liver transplantation using the laparoscopic approach remains experimental and requires further research. |
