Article Title: | Recent advances in hepatic resection |
Abstract: | Hepatic surgery has emerged over the last three decades and has proven to be a safe and effective treatment for primary and secondary malignancies, as well as for benign diseases of the liver. During the past 10 years, several major advances have been made in 1) surgical technique with the advent of portal pedicle ligation maneuvers and the implementation of mechanical staplers, 2) intraoperative management with the development of low central venous pressure anesthesia, and 3) surgical technology with the innovation of laparoscopy for staging of patients with cancer and performing minimally invasive liver resection. We present a summary of our experience with these advances. (C) 2000 Wiley-Liss, Inc. |
