Liver Diseases & Hepatology

Clinical Trials on Hepatology

Surgical procedure to remove the liver permanently or temporarily is referred as a liver resection. It is also known as a full or partial hepatectomy. When a diseased liver is removed from a deceased donor after a transplant, the procedure is known as a complete liver resection (cadaver). Additionally, a portion of liver tissue obtained by a partial hepatectomy can be given by a living donor. Either a conventional open procedure or a minimally invasive technique can also be used to carry out the surgery.
