Liver resection for cancer

O Almersjö et al. Acta Chir Scand. 1976.

Abstract

Liver resection was performed for primary and secondary cancer in 46 patients. Left lobe resection was performed in 11 patients, right lobe resection in 22 and extended right lobe resection in 13. There was no post-operative mortality after left lobe resection, 9 after right lobe and 5 after extended right lobe resection. Ten patients have survived two years after the liver resection. This surgical procedure seems to be of benefit especially for patients with primary liver cancer and with metastases from cancer coli-recti.
