Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hepatectomy has been applied in the surgical clinic routinely for years to treat benign and malignant liver lesions. It is also seen as a possible curative treatment for liver cancers. With a better understanding of the liver anatomy, improvements in surgical techniques and instruments, and progress in the concept of perioperative care, hepatectomy has become more and more safe and effective for liver cancers. In recent years, great progress has been made in the following fields: liver resection in an anatomically difficult location, minimal invasive surgeries such as laparoscopic and robotic hepatectomy, two-stage hepatectomies such as ALPPS, and fine preoperative evaluation of liver function and risks of surgery. It is time to summarize and comments on the progress of these improvements. We thus tried to organize a Special Issue focusing on the above aspects.
