[Hepatic resection for tumors, trauma and Echinococcus].
52 patients with hepatic resection due to liver tumor, metastases, Echinococcus or liver trauma are reported. Hepatic resection represents a relatively harmless procedure in case of benign liver tumor; however, in case of a malignant disease, the prognosis after hepatic resection is impaired by the difficulty to predict the regeneration capability of the liver. The indication for the different operative procedures is being discussed. It is suggested to perform hepatic resection in the border lines of the liver lobes without extensive preparation of the liver hilus and to clamp the liver hilus during resection. If the liver hilus was occluded after steroid pretreatment, 40 min of hepatic ischemia were well tolerated without any consequences and intraoperative bloodloss could be reduced significantly.
