Understanding Minor Liver and Pancreas Resection Surgery
When a benign growth, cyst, or localized lesion affects the liver or pancreas, expert surgical care can help restore health and prevent complications. At Orlando Minimally Invasive Surgery (OMIS), our board-certified surgeons specialize in minor liver and pancreas resection surgery, providing safe, effective treatment for select conditions of these vital organs.
Our focus is on precision, safety, and compassionate care—helping patients achieve the best outcomes with the least disruption to their lives.
What Is a Minor Liver or Pancreas Resection?
A resection involves removing a small, diseased, or damaged portion of the liver or pancreas while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. These procedures are typically recommended for patients with:
- Benign or precancerous tumors
- Cysts or localized lesions
- Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH)
- Hepatic or pancreatic adenomas
- Limited trauma-related injury or inflammation
Because both the liver and pancreas play key roles in digestion and metabolism, these surgeries require careful evaluation and planning to ensure optimal function after recovery.
Signs You May Need Liver or Pancreas Surgery
Symptoms depend on the underlying condition and its location but may include:
- Persistent abdominal pain or fullness
- Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
- Nausea or vomiting
- Changes in appetite or digestion
At OMIS, our team performs thorough diagnostic testing—including imaging, lab work, and clinical assessment—to determine whether resection is the best course of treatment.

What to Expect from Minor Resection Surgery
In a minor liver or pancreas resection, only the affected portion of the organ is removed, allowing the remaining healthy tissue to continue functioning normally. The liver, in particular, has a remarkable ability to regenerate, often restoring its volume and function within weeks.
Our surgeons carefully plan each procedure to remove the diseased tissue while minimizing impact to surrounding structures. Most patients are able to return to light activity within several weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and overall health.
