title: [Effect of liver transplantation on general techniques of liver resection].
abstract: The techniques of liver surgery and liver transplantation have benefited from one another. This is demonstrated by the sophisticated methods in modern transplant surgery, such as size reduction, splitting and resection during organ harvesting in living donors. However, techniques of transplantation have also influenced resection procedures by the use of one procedure or another (depending on the stage), as clearly shown by the evaluation of indications (assessment of liver function) in some diseases (Caroli syndrome, Klatskin tumor etc.). The exposure of the abdomen, the exploration of the liver, the knowledge about the tolerance of the liver to ischemia and the techniques of ex situ resection demonstrate the close ties between liver transplantation and liver resection. Standards of the procedure of liver transplantation and resection are explained. Details of techniques, parallels and influences are discussed.
