Liver Surgery
Liver Surgery may be performed by a
General Surgeon
or
Internal Medicine Surgeon
. The liver is located in the upper abdomen and is the largest solid organ in the body. It has many important complex functions, including helping the digestion of fat, converting sugar into energy, and removing waste from the blood. A
Liver biopsy
may be required for assessment. Benign tumours of the liver, such as
cysts
,
adenomas
and
haemangiomas
, can be treated by
liver resection
. If the location of a benign tumour is superficial and small in size, the operation can be performed
laparoscopically
. A variety of diseases can lead to end-stage
liver disease
. In such cases a
liver transplantation
may be the only option.
