Liver Cancer Surgery

Liver cancer surgery, or hepatectomy, removes cancerous liver tissue via wedge, segmental, or lobar resections. Minimally invasive methods, including robotic surgery, are chosen where appropriate. Aftercare may include ablation or transplantation for advanced cases. Hospitalization is 1-2 weeks; full recovery 2-3 months.
