Parenchyma: Formal Lobectomy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Operative Techniques for Severe Liver Injury

Abstract

Elective liver resection can be performed with low mortality. Full understanding of hepatic anatomy, knowledge of techniques in vascular control, advances in technology for parenchymal resection, use of intraoperative ultrasound to define vascular and biliary structures, and intraoperative maintenance of low central venous pressure have been major advances in liver resection.
