How should I prepare for liver resection? What should I expect? — Expert Video
Transplant hepatologist Dr. Amit Singal, MD, provides an overview of how patients can prepare for liver cancer surgical resection. He explains that the first essential step is discussing eligibility and treatment details with your healthcare team. Preparation begins with a consultation involving the clinical care team, including a surgeon who will explain the procedure. The two approaches to liver resection are traditional open surgery, which uses a single large incision in your abdomen, and minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, which uses several small incisions and tiny instruments with cameras. Patients should expect hospitalization for recovery following either procedure.
