title: [Care of a patient in the recovery room after a hepatectomy].
abstract: A hepatectomy is a surgical procedure involving a high risk of haemorrhage and an operation lasting several hours. It is for this reason that a period of monitoring by trained nursing staff in the postanaesthetic recovery room is essential until the vital functions stabilise and a protocol for effective analgesia is implemented.
