Process Involved for Hepatectomy (Liver Resection) in Durban

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.
