title: [Liver tumors and parasites].
abstract: The risk of a liver resection is determined by 3 factors: 1. Extent of the tumor 2. functional reserve of the remaining tissue 3. technique of resection. ad 1: Ultrasound and computed tomography are the most important methods to find out a liver tumor. ad 2: A modified model to judge the functional reserve is presented by means of the galactose-elimination-test, amino-pyrin-exhalation-test and indocyanin-green-test. ad 3: It is most important to avoid intraoperative blood loss.
