Liver Resection / Hepatectomy
Liver Resection / Hepatectomy Treatment
Treatment Range Hospital in Hyderabad offers advanced liver resection and hepatectomy procedures for patients diagnosed with liver tumors, both primary (originating in the liver) and metastatic (spread from other organs). These surgeries involve the removal of a portion of the liver to eliminate cancerous tissue and prevent further spread of disease. Our highly experienced hepatobiliary and surgical oncology team ensures safe, precise, and effective treatment with a strong focus on recovery and long-term health.
Before surgery, our specialists conduct detailed evaluations including liver function tests, MRI/CT scans, and tumor marker assessments to determine the size, location, and nature of the tumor. Based on this, patients may undergo a segmental liver resection or major hepatectomy. Our hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art operation theatres, ICU support, and post-operative monitoring systems to manage complex liver cases with high success rates.

Helping you understand Our healthcare
Liver resection (also known as hepatectomy) is a surgical procedure to remove a part (segment or lobe) of the liver. It is commonly done to remove liver tumors — either primary (originating in the liver) or metastatic (spread from other organs like the colon or breast).
It is performed when a tumor is localized in one part of the liver and the remaining liver is healthy enough to function after surgery. Common indications include:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer)
Colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver
Benign tumors like hepatic adenoma (in select cases)
Up to 70% of a healthy liver can be removed. The liver is capable of regenerating itself within a few weeks. However, in patients with liver disease (like cirrhosis), a smaller amount can be removed safely.
It is a major operation with some risks including:
Bleeding
Bile leakage
Liver failure (rare)
Infections
When done in experienced centers with proper planning, it is generally safe and well-tolerated.
To plan for surgery, patients usually undergo:
CT scan or MRI of the liver
Liver function tests
Tumor markers like AFP or CEA
PET-CT (if metastatic disease is suspected)
Volumetric scan to calculate future liver volume
