How much remnant is enough in liver resection?
BACKGROUND Liver resection represents the first choice of treatment for primary and secondary liver malignancies, offering the patient the best chance of long-term survival. The extensive use of major hepatectomy increases the risk of post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF), which is associated with a high frequency of postoperative complications, mortality and increased length of hospital stay. ...
متن کاملComparison of remnant to total functional liver volume ratio and remnant to standard liver volume ratio as a predictor of postoperative liver function after liver resection
BACKGROUNDS/AIMS The future liver remnant (FLR) is usually calculated as a ratio of the remnant liver volume (RLV) to the total functional liver volume (RLV/TFLV). In liver transplantation, it is generally accepted that the ratio of the graft volume to standard liver volume (SLV) needs to be at least 30% to 40% to fit the hepatic metabolic demands of the recipient. The aim of this study was to ...
متن کاملPreoperative Assessment and Optimization of the Future Liver Remnant.
Liver resection of benign, primary, and metastatic tumors is challenging and places patients at risk for postoperative liver insufficiency. The magnitude of this risk largely depends on the volume and function of the future liver remnant (FLR). It is, therefore, critical that hepatobiliary surgeons are well versed in measurement of liver volume and function as well as various techniques for pre...
متن کاملMethods to Increase Future Liver Remnant Volume in Patients with Primarily Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastases: Current State and Future Perspectives.
Radical liver resection of colorectal liver metastases (CLMs) is the only potentially curative treatment. But primary resectability of CLMs ranges from 15% to 20%. Insufficient future liver remnant volume (FLRV) is the main cause of primary unresectability of CLMs. Currently, there are several methods that can optimize FLRV and permit radical resection of CLMs. The basic methods include two-sta...
متن کاملThe Aim of Technology During Liver Resection — A Strategy to Minimize Blood Loss During Liver Surgery
The parameter "Blood loss" has a central role in liver surgery and different strategies to minimize it are a key to improve these results. Bleeding has to be considered a major concern for the hepatic surgeon because of several reasons. At first it is certainly the major intraoperative surgical complication and cause of death and historically one of the major postop‐ erative complication togeth...
