Preoperative Three-dimensional Virtual Simulation for Safe Liver Surgery.

The article presents a case study of a 79-year old female was referred for resection of a hepatocellular carcinoma and has a history of chronic coughing and decreased respiratory function due to interstitial pneumonia with liver dysfunction. It mentions several images showing the three dimensional simulation for the liver surgery. It further mentions importance of postoperative residual liver volume with preservation of blood supply and drainage vessels for the prevention of liver failure.
