Abstract
Postoperative complications directly due to liver resection are hepatic failure and abdominal fluid collections due to bleeding or biliary leaks from the resection plane. The decrease in complication rates is due to technological advances and the widespread use of anatomically oriented resection techniques that significantly minimize liver-tissue necrosis. Hepatic parenchyma has in fact a complex, high-density framework of vascular and biliary structures, and even the most meticulous and appropriate approach to resection does not exclude the risk of postoperative bleeding and/or biliary leaks.
