Innov Surg Sci. 2017 Mar 24;2(1):1-8. doi: 10.1515/iss-2017-0009. eCollection 2017 Mar.

Abstract

Liver surgery has become the standard treatment of primary liver cancer and liver metastases from colorectal cancer. Also, patients with non-colorectal liver metastases are increasingly offered surgery due to the low morbidity and excellent long-term results. The evolution of two-stage procedures helps to increase resectability. Also, laparoscopic and robotic liver surgery are constantly developed.

Keywords: cholangiocellular carcinoma; hepatocellular carcinoma; liver cancer; liver metastases; liver resection; liver surgery.
