Clinical Manifestations

Signs & Symptoms

Early Symptoms
  • • Vague right upper quadrant (RUQ) abdominal fullness or discomfort
  • • Mild fatigue and loss of appetite
Common Symptoms
  • • Palpable RUQ hepatic mass
  • • Weight loss and early satiety
  • • Mild jaundice or elevated liver enzymes (AST/ALT/ALP)
Emergency Symptoms
  • • Acute severe abdominal pain due to tumor rupture / hemoperitoneum
Etiology & Demographics

Causes & Risk Factors

Primary Causes & Etiology

  • Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) arising in Hepatitis B/C or NASH cirrhosis
  • Colorectal adenocarcinoma liver metastases
  • Hepatic hemangiomas, adenomas, or focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH)

Who is at Higher Risk?

Pre-Operative Protocol

Diagnostic Evaluation & Testing

Diagnostic Test Clinical Purpose / What It Shows
Triphasic Liver CT Angiogram & Primovist MRI with ICG Clearance Test Maps hepatic vascular anatomy, Couinaud segments, and future liver remnant (FLR > 30%)
Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) & Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Tumor marker quantification for HCC and metastatic colorectal cancer
Surgical Techniques

Comprehensive Treatment Options

da Vinci Robotic 3D Fluorescence-Guided Anatomical Segmentectomy / Lobectomy

Primary Choice

Robotic multi-arm parenchymal transection using CUSA and ICG fluorescence real-time tumor margin mapping.

Key Advantages:
Preserves maximum healthy liver parenchyma
Significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss (< 150ml)
Shorter hospital stay (3 to 4 days)

Laparoscopic Radiofrequency-Assisted Liver Transection (LRAL)

Complex Cases

Keyhole laparoscopic liver resection using radiofrequency coagulating shears.

Recommended For:
Peripherally located liver segment 2, 3, 5, 6 lesions
