Hepatectomy involves removing the diseased or damaged part of the liver. Hepatectomy is used to treat different types of liver cancer, as well as benign neoplasms, metastatic hepatic disease, trauma or extensive hepatic infections.

Persistent abdominal pain or swelling
Jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes)
Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
Liver tumors detected on imaging
Chronic liver disease with worsening symptoms

General anesthesia is administered
The surgeon accesses the liver using open, laparoscopic, or robotic methods
The diseased liver portion is carefully removed
Blood vessels and bile ducts are sealed
The remaining healthy liver is preserved for regeneration

The procedure is performed while patients are unconscious and through an incision (open), using cameras and instruments placed through small incisions on the abdomen (laparoscopic), or by robots (robotic). The surgeon removes the part of the liver that has a disease. Blood vessels and ducts that carry bile from the liver are sealed to prevent further bleeding or leakage.

Surgery duration: 3\u20136 hours, depending on complexity
Hospital stay: 5\u201310 days on average
Full recovery: 6\u20138 weeks for routine activities

It includes the complete removal of liver tumors or diseased tissue, prevents cancer spread, improves liver function in selected cases, relieves abdominal pain and pressure, and enhances long-term survival and quality of life

Postoperatively, most patients will initially be cared for in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), followed by a gradual resumption of normal activities and dietary modifications.
Monitoring for complications and managing pain related to the surgical procedure, monitoring liver function postoperatively, caring for the surgical wound, and performing imaging studies after the patient has returned home will be important for most individuals.
After 6\u20138 weeks, most patients will return to their normal daily lives as the liver continues to regenerate.

There is a wide variation in the success of hepatotoxicity for liver tumors based on the type of cancer and the size of the tumor or its location, as well as the health of the patient. Liver Tumors (HCC) typically have a 5-year survival rate of approximately 50-70%. However, the survival rates for selected, early-stage liver tumors can be as high as 90% for a 5-year period after treatment.

Process Involved for Hepatectomy (Liver Resection) in Kaunas

General Anaesthesia: The entire procedure is performed under general anaesthesia to ensure maximum patient comfort (i.e., the patient is free from sensation and awareness) throughout all stages of the surgical operation.
Accessing the Liver Surgically: The liver is accessed through an open surgical approach (traditional "cut-and-sew"), laparoscopically (minimally invasive surgery), or robotically.
Extraction of Diseased Liver Tissue: The diseased portion of the liver is meticulously identified and excised (i.e., surgically taken out) while preserving normal (healthy) surrounding liver tissue.
Closure of Blood Vessels & Bile Ducts: All blood vessels and bile ducts are tightly clamped and/or sealed (e.g., ligated) to prevent any potential bleeding or bile leakage, both during and after the surgical procedure.
Protecting the Remaining Healthy Liver: The remaining healthy portions of the liver are preserved to enable natural regeneration and return to normal function postoperatively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically, patients recover within 2-3 weeks after surgery; however, full recovery can take 6-8 weeks. After surgery, the rate of complete recovery depends on the extent of liver resection and the patient's health status.

In addition to the procedure cost, patients may incur:

Pre-treatment tests

Medications during recovery

Follow-up consultations

Most patients will have an average length of stay of about 5-10 days in a hospital after having a hepatectomy, depending on how fast a patient recovers and if they require intensive care.

In the long term, a patient will continue to undergo regular tests to monitor liver function, will continue follow-up imaging, will maintain a healthy diet, will take medications as directed, and will gradually return to normal activities.

Many countries have advanced liver surgery facilities, experienced hepatobiliary surgeons, state-of-the-art hospital facilities, and comprehensive support services for international patients.

For the purpose of testing the status of an individual’s liver function before they have a hepatectomy, each patient will usually have to complete the following tests: blood testing, liver function testing, a CT scan or an MRI, an ECG, an evaluation for anesthesia, and, in some cases will require an assessment of the volume of the liver.

Hepatectomy (surgical removal of part of the liver) is generally regarded as safe when performed by well-trained and experienced hepatobiliary surgeons and in accordance with specified guidelines for international patients.

The survival rates for selected, early-stage liver tumors can be as high as 90% for a 5-year period after treatment.
