Liver

A liver abscess happens when pus forms in the liver. It can be due to direct gallbladder infection (e.g., acute cholecystitis and cholangitis) or even abdominal conditions such as appendicitis or diverticulitis.

Liver cancer is a life-threatening condition wherein cancerous tumours develop in the liver. Liver cancer can be of two types – primary and secondary.

Liver cysts can be defined as fluid-filled growths of the liver. Liver cysts are more common in females than males and are often observed in those between 30-70 years old. Most liver cysts are benign in nature, and they are considered simple cysts.

Liver surgery, also known as hepatectomy, is a surgical procedure in which a portion of the liver is removed. The liver is a large organ located in the upper right part of the abdomen. It plays a vital role in metabolism, digestion, and detoxification.

Minimally invasive liver surgery, also known as laparoscopic liver surgery or robotic-assisted liver surgery, is a newer technique that uses smaller incisions and specialized surgical instruments to remove the diseased liver tissue.
