Abstract
Primary and secondary hepatic malignancies, including hepatocellular cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and metastatic disease from colorectal cancer continue to increase in incidence worldwide, and remain diseases with a high mortality. Liver resection, with negative margins, is associated with improved survival and better quality of life over nonoperative treatment. As liver resection continues to evolve, aggressive centers are increasingly using vascular resection and reconstruction to achieve negative margins and improve outcomes. As these resections become more common, the morbidity and mortality associated with these complex surgical procedures is decreasing. Currently, resections of the portal vein are becoming routine in major liver and pancreatic resections, and experience with hepatic artery, hepatic vein and inferior vena cava resections is increasing. This review paper looks at the current indications, techniques and outcomes for major vascular resection in hepatic malignancy.
