Liver resection is a surgical procedure that involves removing a portion of the liver. This operation is often performed to treat conditions such as liver cancer, benign tumors, or severe liver damage. The extent of the resection can vary, ranging from removing a small segment to a larger section of the liver. The procedure is typically done under general anesthesia and may require a hospital stay for recovery. After the surgery, the remaining liver tissue can often regenerate, allowing the liver to regain its function over time. Regular follow-up care is essential to monitor recovery and liver health.
