Surgery of liver tumours - our experiences

Today, there has been a significant increase in the number of liver resections, and many different techniques are being applied. The importance of liver surgery has particularly been emphasized in the resection of primary and metastatic liver malignancy. The aims of this article are to give a short review of the achievements in liver surgery and to present our experiences. We have analyzed the data on 16 patients with liver tumours consecutively operated in the Surgery Department, CHC "Zemun". Although the observation period has been short, the survival rate of our patients is satisfactory, and their quality of life is also ssatisfactory. Surgical resection is the most promising method of treatment for patients with liver metastases.
