Liver Surgery
Liver abscess:
Collection of pus in the liver is a common occurrence especially in alcoholics needing antibiotics and anti-amoebics and repeated aspiration by pushing a needle into it under ultrasound guidance. Some large abscesses located in inaccessible areas of the liver, multiple abscesses and those threatening to rupture will require surgical intervention. Most of these abscess can be tackled by minimal access surgery namely laparoscopy and they recover very early and very well. An occasional patient may require opening of the abdomen and draining the pus.
Liver cyst:
Simple cysts: Cysts of the liver are well encapsulated fluid collections. Most simple cysts are congenital and get noticed only when they cause symptoms. Dull ache is the usual presentation. They can usually be treated without surgery. Rarely surgery becomes necessary in the form of deroofing of the cyst. Polycystic liver disease is another uncommon condition and can be associated with polycystic kidney and sometimes pancreatic disease. Large symptomatic cysts require laparoscopic puncture from time to time.
