title: [Indications and results of liver resection].
abstract: A liver resection should only be performed after complete investigation of a detected hepatic lesion and represents a choice between other possible treatments. This choice is influenced by the natural history of the lesion and its extension, by its precise intrahepatic localization by the general condition and symptoms of the patient, and by the results expected from therapeutic alternatives. The most usual indications for hepatectomies are discussed.
