Hepatic resection is the golden standard in treatment of tumours from primary liver cancer and colorectal liver metastases, but is appropriate for a variety of other benign and malignant tumours in the liver.

Surgical strategies, techniques and adjuvant chemotherapy are discussed. Recurrence or newly-evolved tumours can be treated.
