What is Hepatectomy Surgery
Hepatectomy and liver resection are surgical procedures used to remove a portion of the liver. These procedures are commonly performed to treat liver tumors, both cancerous and non-cancerous, as well as to manage other liver conditions such as trauma and certain liver diseases.
Types of Hepatectomy
There are several types of hepatectomy, each named based on the portion of the liver that is removed.
- Partial Hepatectomy: This is the most common type, where a portion of the liver is removed. It can be further classified based on the amount of liver removed, such as a segmentectomy (removal of a liver segment)
- Right Hepatectomy: In this procedure, the right lobe of the liver is removed which is often performed to treat liver tumors located in the right lobe.
- Left Hepatectomy: This involves removal of the left lobe of the liver. It is performed to treat tumors or other conditions affecting the left lobe.
- Hemihepatectomy: It is a surgical procedure in which one half of the liver is removed and is usually performed to treat liver tumors or other conditions that affect one side of the liver.
