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: 3–6 hours, depending on complexity
- Hospital stay: 5–10 days on average
- Full recovery: 6–8 weeks for routine activities
- Bleeding and infection
- Bile leakage
- Liver failure (rare)
- Blood clots
- Breathing complications
- Delayed liver regeneration
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 6–8 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.

+99Process Involved for Hepatectomy (Liver Resection)
- 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.
