ABOUT LIVER SURGERY Liver surgery comprises various

operations of the liver for different disorders. The most common operation performed on the liver is a resection (removal of a portion of the liver). The most typical indication for liver resection is a malignant tumor. Tumors can be primary (developed in the liver) or metastatic (developed in another organ, then migrated to the liver). The majority of liver metastases come from the colon. The single tumor or more than one tumor confined to either left or right side of the liver can be successfully resected with 5-year survival as high as 60%. (Surgery.

If you feel there's something weird or unusual with your liver, you might want to see a doctor to consult it. It is possible that you have liver tumor, liver cancer, other liver diseases or other organ problems. It's always better to know earlier so that you can cure earlier. Or if you were recently diagnosed, looking for a second opinion can't be wrong idea.
