title: Hepatic resection nomenclature and techniques.
abstract: Nomenclature describing liver anatomy and liver resection has been standardized with the Brisbane 2000 terminology. When performing liver resection, blood loss should be minimized by using low central venous pressure (CVP) anesthesia and vascular occlusion as appropriate. There are many options for transection of the liver parenchyma, and although no technique has been shown to be superior to clamp-crushing, hepatic surgeons should be familiar with the techniques available.
