title: [Indications for hepatic resection: personal experience].
abstract: The Authors, before examining their case history, which includes 103 major and minor hepatic resections performed during the last decade, briefly show the surgical technique concerning hepatic ischaemia and the new technologies proposed to reduce the hematic loss during hepatic resections. The constant adoption of these techniques and the careful evaluation of some parameters concerning hepatic functionality allowed to decrease postoperative complications and mortality, which currently is around 5-10%. These data are confirmed by the Authors experience.
