Abstract		Modern liver surgery is based on functional anatomy of the liver - on distribution of hepatic vessels and bile ducts. The liver is divided into the left and right hemiliver by the midplane of the liver, which is followed by the middle hepatic vein. The division has no surfice marking. The right hemiliver is separated to the right posterior (segments 6 and 7) and right anterior (segments 5 and 8) section by the right intersectional plane which runs along the superior right hepatic vein. There is no surfice marking of the right intersectional plane. The left hemiliver is separated by the left intersectional plane to the medial (segment 4) and lateral (segments 2 and 3) sections. The left intersectional plane has very useful surfice markings - it passes through the attachment of the falciform ligament and the umbilical fissure (anterior part of the left sagittal fissure). A good knowledge of the course, relationships and variations of the hepatic vessels and bile ducts is a prerequisite for successful anatomical resections and good vascular control. The terminology used in the article is The Brisbane Terminology of Liver Anatomy and Resections.
