In 1952, Jean Louis Lortat-Jacob undertook the first successful extended right hepatectomy.It was pioneering surgery. Improvement in liver resection has been achieved in the past decade. Among other factors, a gradual change of technology, platforms and refinement of surgical techniques have played significant roles. In this review, the various surgical approaches, operative techniques, operative instruments and adjunctive measures as applied in liver resection are described, along with discussion of the pros and cons of each of these attributes. A brief description of laparoscopic liver resection is also included to address this important and emerging area in liver surgery.Keywords: Liver resection; surgical techniques; Laparoscopic liver resection.
