Primary outcomes after major anatomical liver resections in infants at the National Children’s Medical Center

Primary results of liver resections demonstrated feasibility and safety of radical major hemihepatectomies in pediatric patients with large liver neoplasms. These outcomes are comparable with world literature. Such interventions in infants necessitate substantial experience in hepatobiliary surgery. Patients with hepatoblastoma require post-hepatectomy chemotherapy. There is a need to develop primary outpatient services for liver tumor screening and timely diagnosis in pediatric patients.
