Abstract:
:Significant salvage of patients with a wide variety of cysts and benign tumors of the liver and of some patients with biliary strictures can be achieved by hepatic resection in carefully selected clinical situations with a low operative mortality rate and an acceptable postoperative complication rate. Still to be determined is the role of hepatic resection in metastatic carcinoma and sarcoma of the liver, where survival is modest but measurable, but important palliation can be achieved. Hepatomas should be resected when possible, but hepatic resection for aid in resection of bile duct carcinoma has proved generally unrewarding.
