Liver surgery has made extraordinary progress over the past 40
years, evolving from the first, timid partial resections in the
1950s to today's major resections and organ transplants. Examining
the rea- sons for this progress, one cannot but be impressed by the
substan- tial role that has been played by radiology. Formerly,
preoperative planning was based on only nebulous scintigraphic
scans. Today, surgeons have at their disposal a wide variety of
radiological modalities for diagnosis and topography which are
precise enough to exclude most operative surprises. Fur- thermore,
the radiologist is becoming increasingly involved in ther- apy:
prior to operation for tumor reduction by embolization and after
resection for treatment of local complications - which could
otherwise necessitate difficult and occasionally dangerous reoper-
ations. As the author writes in his preface, it is not really
astonishing that a radiologist is publishing a book on this topic,
and he must be congratulated for his work-up, which combines
important personal experience with a complete analysis of published
papers on this topic.
