A CASE OF HEPATOMA WITH LIVER CIRRHOSIS TREATED BY THE ANTERIOR-SUPERIOR SUBSEGMENTECTOMY OF THE LIVER

Abstract

In October 1979, the liver surgery group of National Cancer Center began to perform the ultrasonically guided systemic subsegmentectomy of the liver for hepatoma with liver cirrhosis. Recently many surgeons perform this method.
In March 1984, we had a case of hepatoma with liver cirrhosis which was well localized in the anterior-superior subsegment of the right lobe. So we performed the ultrasonically guided systemic subsegmentectomy of the liver for this case. The post-operative course of this case was good and one month after the operation the patient's general condition was good.
We think that in the future we will perform this method for hepatoma with liver cirrhosis which is well localized in the subsegment of the liver.
