Clinical Area
Liver surgery includes surgical assessment of primary liver cancers, liver metastases and selected cystic, benign or parasitic liver diseases.
The liver can be affected by tumors that start in the liver as well as metastases from other organs. Hydatid disease and selected benign lesions can also require surgical assessment.
Related Conditions
Liver cancer refers to malignant tumors arising in the liver. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary type.
Liver metastases are cancers that have spread to the liver from another organ.
Colorectal liver metastases occur when colon or rectal cancer spreads to the liver.
Not every liver mass or cyst is cancer, and not every lesion requires surgery.
Surgical Procedures
Approach
The presence of a liver lesion does not automatically mean surgery. Disease type, lesion number and location, vascular/biliary relationships, liver function and the future liver remnant are assessed together.
