Abstract

To induce rapid hepatic hypertrophy and to reduce post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF), associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) has been recently developed for patients with a limited future liver remnant. The aim of this study was to further assess the perioperative risk of this procedure and its specific indications.
