Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma spread via intrahepatic portal branches. Anatomical resections of a tumor-bearing portal area or of a segment or a section are basic procedures for treating liver tumors.
This chapter features the anatomical resection of segment 8, segment 7, and the right anterior sectionectomy as typical procedures, containing most of the basic techniques for anatomical liver resection. Other procedures, including left lateral sectionectomy, left medial sectionectomy, central hepatectomy, and wedge resection, are briefly presented.
