Hepatic Resection

Hepatic resection is a surgical procedure to remove a portion of the liver, usually because of tumors, liver disease, or injury. The liver has a remarkable ability to regenerate, meaning it can grow back to its normal size after surgery. This procedure aims to improve a patient's health by getting rid of diseased or cancerous tissue. It is typically performed by specialized surgeons in hospitals and requires careful planning, including imaging tests and assessments of liver function, to ensure the patient can safely undergo the operation and recover effectively.
