Major hepatic resection for neoplasia. The Concord Hospital experience.
In a major hepatic resection one, or more, of the eight major anatomical segments of the liver is removed. Such procedures are a recent development and during 1972-1982, 22 such resections were performed for neoplasia at Concord Hospital, with a mortality rate of 5%. The indications for elective hepatic resection for neoplasia are discussed. Of particular importance is the excellent palliation and survival that is achieved when localized metastases of colorectal origin are resected.
