A number of surgical procedures are available for the treatment of malignant and benign liver conditions. Many techniques have evolved over the years to make liver surgery more effective, simpler and safer. It is now possible to perform complicated, major and more involved liver surgical procedures within a few hours and without the requirement of blood transfusions. The most common type of liver surgery is liver resection, which involves the complete or partial removal of the liver. It is mostly performed for the purpose of removing a tumor. Liver tumors can also be addressed using minimally invasive, catheter-based procedures and treatments. Surgeries for the treatment of liver lesions such as cysts, hemangiomas and adenomas can be done laparoscopically or in a conventional open surgical procedure, depending on the location of the lesion. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different operative techniques of liver surgery, and their applications. It strives to provide a fair idea about liver surgery and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this surgical specialization. It will be a vital reference text for hepatologists, gastroenterologists, surgeons and students alike.
