The past two decades have seen remarkable advances in the understanding of hepatobiliary anatomy and in hepatobiliary surgery. Precise anatomical description of the liver has transformed our understanding of this organ and revealed a detailed network of vessels and bile ducts delineating well-defined territories. Improved imaging techniques, including CT, MRI, and intraoperative ultrasonography, have also facilitated localization of all the avenues and streets by which the liver can be accessed along Couinaud’s segmental anatomy. These remarkable developments have improved the information available regarding tumor extent and characteristics, contributing to better sur
