Background: Advances in surgery have reduced the mortality rate after major liver resection,
but complications resulting from inadequate postresection hepatic size and function remain …

Hepatectomies are among some of the most complex operative interventions performed.
Mortality rates after major hepatectomy are as high as 30%, with post-hepatic liver failure …

Computed tomography (CT) is used increasingly to measure liver volume in patients
undergoing evaluation for transplantation or resection. This study is designed to determine a …

Background. There is no agreement regarding the preoperative measurement of liver
volumes and the minimal safe size of the liver remnant after extended hepatectomy …

Objective To assess the impact of liver hypertrophy of the future liver remnant volume (FLR)
induced by preoperative portal vein embolization (PVE) on the immediate postoperative …

Hypothesis Preoperative portal vein embolization (PVE) allows potentially curative hepatic
resection without additional morbidity or mortality in patients with hepatobiliary malignancies …

Preoperative portal vein embolization (PVE) was performed in 84 patients before extensive
liver resection for various diseases. By the criteria of liver volumetric determination, some …

BACKGROUND: Liver remnant volumes after major hepatic resection and graft volumes for
liver transplantation correlate with surgical outcome. The relative contributions of the hepatic …

To render hepatectomy feasible in patients with an initially deficient volume of the future
remnant liver (FRL), we redistributed portal blood flow rich in hepatotrophic substances …
