About this listen

Hepatic surgeries are indicated in the management of malignant/symptomatic benign tumors and traumatic lacerations of the liver .The choice of surgery depends on the location, size, and extent of the malignancy/injury. Depending on which segments of the liver are removed, hepatic resections include right/left hepatectomy, right/left lobectomy, and segmentectomy. Wedge resections of the liver are performed for small, peripherally located lesions. Complications of hepatic resections include liver failure, hemorrhage, hemobilia, and bile leaks.
