hepatectomía
Hepatectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a portion of the liver. This operation is most commonly performed to treat liver cancer, either primary tumors that originate in the liver or metastases from cancers elsewhere in the body. It can also be indicated for benign liver tumors, liver cysts, or as a step in liver transplantation, where a portion of a donor liver is implanted.
The extent of the hepatectomy depends on the size, location, and number of lesions to be removed,
Before undergoing a hepatectomy, patients typically undergo extensive pre-operative evaluation, including imaging studies like CT scans
