Partial hepatectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a portion of the liver. This operation is often performed to treat conditions such as liver tumors, cirrhosis, or other liver diseases. The liver has a remarkable ability to regenerate, allowing it to recover and function normally even after a significant portion has been removed. During the procedure, surgeons carefully cut away the affected part of the liver while preserving healthy tissue. Recovery can vary, but most patients can expect to regain liver function over time. Close monitoring is essential to ensure proper healing and to manage any potential complications related to the surgery.
