Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Resection success rate of liver tumors: Successful resection is defined as a resection margin of at least 5 mm and less than 15 mm.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
After marking, measurement of marker and tumor visibility (visible/unvisible) on CT and ultrasound, marker and tumor visibility (visible/unvisible) during hepatic resection, and final distance between marker and tumor.<br>Complications during marking: bleeding, liver injury, biliary fistula, intestinal injury, pneumothorax, residuals in the body due to marker deviation, etc.<br>Surgical outcome: operation time, blood loss, liver resection weight<br>Postoperative liver dysfunction: analysis of postoperative AST, ALT, T.Bil, PT activity, Alb levels<br>Postoperative complications: postoperative liver failure, biliary fistula, intra-abdominal abscess, postoperative bleeding, operative mortality, postoperative hospital stay<br>Survey of surgeons' opinions on the contribution of marking to surgery
