    Liver resection is essential for treating primary and metastatic liver cancers, with accurate preoperative planning being crucial for patient outcomes.

  • 2

    The Couinaud segmentation system is the standard for describing liver anatomy, guiding surgical decisions by dividing the liver into eight segments.

  • 3

    Deep learning methods are increasingly utilized for automatic liver resection planning, enhancing accuracy in predicting resection volumes and future liver remnant.

  • 4

    Geometric deep learning frameworks that integrate Couinaud segment information aim to improve both the quantitative accuracy and clinical relevance of liver resection planning.

  • 5

    The study utilized internal and external datasets to validate methods, focusing on point cloud representations for enhanced visualization and surgical planning.
