Abstract
LIVER RESECTION remains the only potential curative treatment for metastases isolated in the liver. Advances in the techniques of hepatic resection have dramatically evolved during the last 2 decades with a decline in perioperative morbidity and mortality.1,2 Operative mortality has consistently been reported as 2% to 4% in most large modern series.2,3 The improvement in operative outcome can be attributed to both anesthetic and critical care advances and the development of segmentally based surgical resection techniques.3,4 Advances in the methods of vascular control and segmentally based surgical resections limit morbidity and mortality to postoperative complications unrelated to blood loss.Keywords
