Did you mean routine surgeries? any way here is the answer , it will help you out:
The only routine liver surgery that is performed is diagnostic.
Liver biopsy was done at the time of operation in 125 consecutive upper abdominal procedures to assess the incidence of unsuspected or undiagnosed hepatic abnormalities. Specifically excluded were hepatic lesions unexpectedly identified at laparotomy. Sixty-seven percent of the liver biopsy specimens were abnormal, the most frequent findings being fatty metamorphosis, cholestasis, triaditis, fibrosis, inflammatory infiltrate, cholangitis, cirrhosis, and hepatitis. The most frequent operation performed was cholecystectomy. In 63 patients with chronic cholecystitis, there was a 51% incidence of abnormal liver histology, while in nine patients with acute cholecystitis, the incidence was 78%. In 83% of all other operations, abnormal liver biopsy specimens were identified. Bile leakage, hemorrhage, and infection did not occur in this series, despite inclusion of patients with severe biliary obstruction, abnormal clotting factors, and intra-abdominal sepsis. New techniques of histochemical enzyme analysis and electron microscopy are expected to enhance the clinical correlation of occult hepatic lesions. We conclude that liver biopsy in a safe, informative adjunct to all upper abdominal procedures.

Next is curative that's e.g. drainge of liver abscess is common, living aside lapchole .
