Liver Resection is a surgical procedure to remove a portion of the liver, typically performed to treat liver cancer, benign liver tumors, or conditions like cirrhosis or hepatitis. It is often recommended when the liver is functioning well enough to tolerate the procedure.

The surgery involves carefully removing the affected portion of the liver while preserving the rest of the organ. In some cases, the remaining liver can regenerate over time, restoring normal function. Liver resections are often performed laparoscopically for faster recovery and reduced postoperative pain.

Postoperative care includes monitoring liver function, managing pain, and ensuring adequate nutrition to promote healing. Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor for complications and evaluate the liver's regenerative capacity.

Liver resection is a potentially life-saving procedure for patients with liver tumors or other severe liver conditions. This surgery provides relief and improves outcomes for patients, particularly those with localized liver disease.
