Extended hepatic resection in advanced hepatoblastoma
*Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Complete surgical resection of the primary tumor is one of the most important prognostic factors for hepatoblastoma (HB). This goal can mean a relevant challenge in some cases of advanced HB, especially since an anatomical resection should be realised. Over recent years several surgical techniques for advanced liver resections in children have been developed and refined. In this article the authors summarize their own experience with advanced liver resections for HB and give an overview over indications and specifications for the different approaches.
