Hepatectomy: When is it necessary?

Hepatectomy is mainly performed to treat :

Liver tumors: Whether benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous),liver tumors may require surgical removal. This includes both primary liver tumors and metastases, which are cancer cells that have spread from another organ to the liver.
Infectious liver diseases: Certain infections can cause cysts (small fluid-filled pockets) or abscesses (pus collections) to form in the liver. In some cases, surgery may be needed to remove them.
Liver malformations: Congenital or acquired liver abnormalities may require surgical correction.

Procedure for liver resection in Turkey

Before undergoing a hepatectomy in Turkey, the patient undergoes a thorough evaluation. Medical imaging tests (MRI, CT scan) and possibly a biopsy are used to determine the exact location and size of the liver tumor and to assess the overall condition of the liver.

This step is critical in determining a personalized surgical plan.

Surgery is preceded by special preparation, usually fasting and discontinuing certain medications.

Hepatectomy is a complex procedure that requires careful preparation. It is usually performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision, isolates the liver, identifies the blood vessels and bile ducts, and then removes the part of the liver containing the lesion. The blood vessels and bile ducts are ligated and cut to control bleeding.

Surgical techniques for hepatectomy

Hepatectomy can be performed using several surgical approaches:

Laparotomy: A conventional approach requiring a larger abdominal incision, it provides excellent visibility for the surgeon and is indicated in certain complex cases or when the size of the lesion to be removed requires a more extensive surgical procedure.
Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive technique that uses small incisions and a camera to view the inside of the abdomen. It often results in a faster postoperative recovery, less pain and a shorter hospital stay. Laparoscopy is increasingly used for hepatectomies, especially for medium-sized lesions.

The choice of surgical technique is individualized and depends on several factors, including the size and location of the lesion to be removed and the patient's overall health.

Post-operative follow-up and recovery

Hepatectomy is a major surgical procedure that requires a period of careful monitoring and recovery.

During your hospital stay

Immediately after your hepatectomy, you will be admitted to the intensive care unit, where your condition will be closely monitored.

The medical teams in Turkey will focus on pain control and monitoring your liver function. Appropriate medications will be administered to provide effective pain relief. You will also have regular check-ups to ensure that your liver is regenerating properly.

Special measures will also be taken to prevent infection and blood clots.

After discharge

The length of your hospital stay will depend on the extent of your surgery and the speed of your recovery.

Full recovery can take several months. You will notice a gradual improvement in your general condition.

Once at home, regular visits with your healthcare team are essential to identify and treat any complications.

Liver regeneration

The liver has an extraordinary ability to regenerate. After a hepatectomy, the remaining liver tissue gradually develops to rebuild the part that was removed. The rate of regeneration varies from person to person and depends on factors such as age, general health, and the extent of the surgery.

Potential risks and complications

Although hepatectomy is a major surgical procedure, current surgical techniques and postoperative care limit the risks. The most common complications are:

Bleeding due to the highly vascularized nature of the liver.
Postoperative infections.
Accidental damage to adjacent organs (gallbladder, intestine).
Venous thrombosis and bile leakage.
Temporary or permanent liver failure due to the extent of resection.
