Liver Resection
Liver resection involves surgically removing a portion of the liver, typically to eliminate various types of liver tumors located within that section.
The primary goal is complete tumor removal along with the appropriate surrounding liver tissue, ensuring no residual tumor remains.
Symptoms
Liver resection is typically performed to treat liver tumors. In the early stages of primary liver cancers, individuals may not exhibit symptoms. However, as the disease progresses, symptoms may include weight loss, loss of appetite, upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, abdominal swelling, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), general weakness and fatigue, and pale or chalky stools.
When to access Medical Care
For individuals with liver cancer, specifically Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), liver resection is typically considered appropriate only for patients with one or two small tumors (5 cm or less) localized within the liver and not involving blood vessel invasion.
Determinants of risk
Factors that increase the risk of liver cancer include:
Chronic infection with HBV or HCV: Persistent infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) elevates the risk of liver cancer.
Cirrhosis: This irreversible condition leads to the formation of scar tissue on the liver, significantly increasing the likelihood of developing liver cancer.
Certain inherited liver diseases: Liver conditions such as hemochromatosis and Wilson’s disease can heighten the risk of liver cancer.
Diabetes: Individuals with diabetes have a higher risk of liver cancer compared to those without the condition.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): Accumulation of fat in the liver raises the risk of liver cancer.
Exposure to aflatoxins: Aflatoxins, toxins produced by molds that grow on improperly stored crops like grains and nuts, can contaminate foods and increase the risk of liver cancer.
Excessive alcohol consumption: Consuming alcohol in amounts exceeding moderation over prolonged periods can cause irreversible liver damage and escalate the risk of liver cancer.
Recovery process
Recovery duration varies, contingent on factors like patient characteristics, chosen procedure, and the extent of severity.
