Complex liver tumor removals performed by hepatobiliary super-specialists with precision.
What is Liver Resection Surgery?
Liver resection, also known as hepatectomy, is a surgical procedure to remove a portion of the liver. This surgery is often performed to treat liver tumors, including both benign and malignant growths, such as hepatocellular carcinoma or metastatic cancer. Liver resection can also address other liver diseases, such as certain infections or trauma. The procedure involves the removal of the diseased or damaged part of the liver while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Advanced imaging techniques and minimally invasive approaches, such as laparoscopic surgery, can be used to enhance precision and reduce recovery time. The liver's remarkable regenerative ability allows it to regrow and restore function after a portion has been removed.

How You Prepare for Liver Resection Surgery
Proper preparation for liver resection surgery is critical for surgical success and recovery. Follow these guidelines as directed by your hepatobiliary surgeon.
Food and Medicines
- Do not eat or drink anything for at least 8-12 hours before your scheduled surgery, including water and chewing gum.
- Provide your surgical team with a complete list of all medications, supplements, and allergies.
- You will need to temporarily stop blood thinners, aspirin, or anti-inflammatory medications 5-10 days before surgery as directed by your doctor.
- Some medications that affect liver function may need to be adjusted or discontinued before surgery.
- You may be prescribed special nutritional supplements to optimize liver function before surgery.
- For patients with liver tumors, any ongoing cancer treatments will need to be coordinated with your surgical team.
What to Expect
- Liver resection is a major operation performed under general anesthesia.
- The procedure typically takes 2-6 hours depending on the extent of liver tissue being removed.
- You will likely stay in the hospital for 5-10 days after surgery, including 1-2 days in the intensive care unit.
- You'll have various tubes and drains after surgery, including IV lines, a urinary catheter, and abdominal drains.
- Pain control will be managed through patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) or epidural anesthesia initially.
- Follow-up appointments will monitor liver function and recovery, with adjustments to medications as needed.
- Full recovery and return to normal activities typically takes 8-12 weeks.

Frequentlly Asked Questions About Surgery Second Opinions
Get expert answers about our second opinion process for surgery, specialist consultations, and how our medical experts can help confirm your diagnosis and treatment plan.
Q: What should I provide for a liver resection surgery?
A: Bring CT or MRI scans, liver biopsy reports (if available), liver function tests, tumor markers such as AFP, and your doctor’s clinical or surgical notes.
Q: Is liver resection always necessary for liver tumors?
A: No. The need depends on tumor type, size, liver function, and whether other treatments like ablation, embolization, or chemotherapy are more suitable.
Q: What are the risks of delaying liver resection?
A: Delaying can allow tumors to grow, spread, or become more difficult to treat. Timely evaluation is important for best outcomes.
Q: Can the liver regenerate after resection?
A: Yes. The liver has a remarkable ability to regrow, often reaching near-normal size within weeks to months if the remaining liver tissue is healthy.
Q: What are the main risks of liver resection?
A: Risks include bleeding, infection, bile leakage, liver failure, and anesthesia-related problems. The overall risk depends on liver function and surgical complexity.
Q: How long is the recovery after liver resection?
A: Most patients stay in the hospital for 5–10 days. Full recovery usually takes 6–8 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and overall health.
