Joe PY - 2019 T2 - Maingot's Abdominal Operations, 13e AB - Liver resection for benign and malignant conditions has evolved significantly over the past 2 decades. Moreover, considerable interest in the field of liver surgery has led to an increase in the number of surgeons subspecializing in hepatobiliary surgery. This interest has brought significant innovation and evolution to the field including new technologies in minimally invasive approaches, expanded indications for patients with liver metastases, and the ability to plan and perform more complex resections. At the same time, improvements in patient selection, liver function assessment, and perioperative care have significantly improved the safety of liver resection at experienced tertiary centers. The concepts and principles of liver surgery are expertly reviewed in Chapters 56 (Hepatic Abscess and Cystic Disease of the Liver) and 57 (Benign Liver Neoplasms). Herein, we provide a perspective on recent advances in the field of liver resection, their impact on patient outcomes, and where future developments are anticipated.
