AB Surgical  resection  is  the  first-line  treatment  for  selected  patients  with  hepatobiliary  malignancies.  With  refinements  in  surgical  techniques  and  perioperative  patient  care,  the  safety  of  liver  resection  has  improved  dramatically  over  the  decades.  Indeed,  the  mortality  rate  after  major  hepatectomy  has  been  reported  to  be  less  than  5%  in  recent  years  at  high-volume  hepatobiliary  centers.1-3  The  most  important  factor  influencing  outcomes  after  liver  resection  is  the  surgeon’s  knowledge  of  the  relevant  anatomy  and  of  basic  principles  pertaining  to  the  surgical  procedure.  In  this  chapter,  we  review  the  general  principles  of  hepatobiliary  surgery  and  describe  current  approaches  for  safe  liver  resection.
