Liver Surgery
"Precision surgery, compassionate care."
Comprehensive Overview of Liver Surgery
Liver surgery, also known as hepatic surgery, encompasses a range of procedures designed to treat conditions affecting the liver, such as tumors (benign or malignant), cysts, abscesses, traumatic injuries, and chronic liver diseases. Advances in surgical techniques, imaging, and perioperative care have significantly improved the safety and efficacy of these operations, enabling better patient outcomes and faster recovery times.
Key Aspects of Liver Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Techniques:
Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted liver surgeries use small incisions, reducing postoperative pain, scarring, and recovery time. These approaches are suitable for select cases, such as small tumors or localized resections.
- Precision Liver Resection:
Surgeons aim to remove only the diseased portion of the liver, preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. This is critical due to the liver's vital role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion.
- Multidisciplinary Approach:
A team of hepatobiliary surgeons, hepatologists, radiologists, anesthesiologists, and critical care specialists collaborate to create tailored treatment plans, ensuring comprehensive care from diagnosis to recovery.
- Advanced Technology:
Our center utilizes cutting-edge tools like 3D imaging for preoperative planning, intraoperative ultrasound for real-time guidance, and fluorescence-guided surgery to enhance precision during complex resections.
- Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS):
Protocols such as early mobilization, optimized pain management, and nutritional support help patients recover faster and return to normal activities sooner.
