title: [Indications for resection of the liver in benign and malignant diseases].
abstract: Based on the analysis of a group of 184 patients where resection of the liver was performed, the authors describe the procedure of the preoperative examination and indications for resection. The diagnostic algorithm comprises in addition to ultrasonography, computed tomography supplemented by selective angiography. In central foci moreover magnetic resonance is used. From the total number of patients operated during the period from 1978 to 1993 in 58 the resection was on account of benign disease (most frequently cysts), in 61 on account of primary liver tumours (most frequently haemangiomas) and in 65 on account of metastases in the liver (most frequently from colorectal carcinoma). The early postoperative mortality was 2.8% (five patients).
