The aim of this report is to review recent experience of removal of anatomical segments of the liver. Resection of one or more segments of the liver was undertaken in 49 patients; in 32 patients, the resection was for malignant disease and in the remainder it was for benign disease. Operating time was 130 (60–600) min and the median transfusion requirement was 0 (0–15) units, with 31 patients having a resection without the need for a blood transfusion. There was no postoperative or in‐hospital mortality. The removal of anatomical segments of the liver is a very useful technique for the safe removal of benign and malignant lesions.
