A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.
Comprehensive evaluation including CT/MRI scans, liver function tests, and assessment of liver volume to plan the extent of resection and ensure adequate remnant liver function.
General anaesthesia is administered and the patient is positioned appropriately. Central venous access and monitoring lines are established for optimal intraoperative management.
The surgeon makes an incision to access the liver, typically through an upper midline or right subcostal approach, depending on the location and extent of the lesion requiring resection.
The liver is carefully mobilized, vascular structures are identified and controlled, and the planned liver resection is performed using advanced techniques to minimize blood loss and preserve healthy liver tissue.
Meticulous haemostasis is achieved, drains are placed if necessary, and the surgical incision is closed in layers. The resected tissue is sent for pathological examination.
