Current trends in liver surgery (literature review)

Abstract

Liver surgery constantly undergoes significant changes and is greatly influenced by scientific and technological developments. At present, liver resection gives hope for the patient's recovery. New tendencies in liver surgery include parenchyma-sparing surgery, minimization of resection margin, skeletonization of blood vessels. The principle of resection along the hepatic veins with specifically detailed landmarks is currently being introduced. This allows surgeons to expand their capabilities by covering new cohorts of patients with multiple tumors, previously considered unresectable. Immediate results are improving without a negative impact on long-term surgical outcomes.
