Plural of hepatectomy; multiple surgical procedures involving removal of part or all of the liver.
Plural form of 'hepatectomy,' from Greek 'hepar' (liver) and '-ectomy' (surgical removal).
Surgeons perform partial hepatectomies knowing the liver can regenerate—it's almost supernatural how this organ can grow back to near-normal size even after losing 70% of its tissue!
