Abstract

Hepatobiliary surgery outcomes have significantly improved since the early 1970s. Surgical and anesthetic advances related to patient selection, alternative surgical management options, and reduction of operative blood loss have been important. Postoperative analgesic regimens are being modified to include intrathecal opiates and to embrace enhanced recovery regimens.

Keywords: Anesthesia; Enhanced recovery; Hepatectomy; Hepatobiliary; Intrathecal; Opiate.
