Liver Resection
Liver resection is indicated for selected patients with resectable primary liver tumors or colorectal liver metastases when adequate future liver remnant (FLR) is expected and perioperative risk is acceptable.
To provide guideline-based recommendations, the specific clinical goal needs definition.
Clarification Needed
- Indication: primary liver cancer, colorectal liver metastases, cholangiocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, or other?
- Goal: preoperative workup, FLR/portal vein embolization strategy, operative technique (open vs laparoscopic vs robotic), or postoperative complication management?
- Baseline liver function and cirrhosis status: Child-Pugh class, MELD score, presence of clinically significant portal hypertension, indocyanine green (ICG) data if used.
- Planned extent: minor resection vs major resection (≥3 segments) and any biliary reconstruction anticipated.
Next Step
The needed output can be generated once the indication and the clinical question are specified (pre-op selection/FLR thresholds vs peri-op and post-op management vs complication-specific treatment).
