A liver resection is the surgical removal of a portion of the liver, and is usually performed in order to extract various types of liver tumors. The liver is the only organ with the ability to regenerate itself. Up to 75% of the liver can be removed as long as the remaining tissue is healthy.
A liver resection is performed under general anesthesia. An incision is made in your abdomen below the rib cage. The surgeon will cut the section of the liver to be removed from the supporting veins, arteries and bile ducts. The incision is then closed using staples or stitches.
The hospital recovery time for a liver resection can be up to a week or more. You will experience some discomfort during recovery, and your physician will prescribe pain medication during your recovery.
