Resection planning
Successful liver surgery requires more than identifying a removable lesion. Planning assesses tumour distribution, vascular and biliary anatomy, underlying liver quality and the volume and function of liver expected to remain after resection.
Oncological integration
For malignant disease, surgery is considered alongside systemic therapy and other liver-directed options. The appropriate sequence depends on the cancer type and extent of disease.
Approximate annual activity
>30 liver resections per year. This is an estimate of current annual clinical practice and varies from year to year.
