A1 - Bitans, Marita A1 - Baker, Anthony S. PY - 2022 T2 - Zollinger’s Atlas of Surgical Operations, 11e AB - Surgical resection is the primary treatment for hepatic malignancies. Resection also may be indicated for a variety of benign lesions, especially those with malignant potential or those that are causing symptoms. The most common malignant tumors include hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and metastatic colorectal cancer. In the Western world, liver metastases are more common than primary liver tumors. A comprehensive evaluation of the overall health status, oncologic appropriateness, and anatomic resectability is required for appropriate patient selection. A lesion is considered resectable if negative margins can be obtained while leaving an adequate amount of functional liver parenchyma with hepatic arterial and portal venous inflow, venous outflow, and biliary drainage. Although the advantages and disadvantages of anatomic versus nonanatomic resection for various tumor types is beyond the scope of this chapter, in general, nonanatomic liver resections are appropriate for peripherally located small liver lesions.
