Promoting Surgical Resection through Future Liver Remnant Hypertrophy
RadioGraphics, 2022An inadequate future liver remnant (FLR) can preclude curative-intent surgical resection for patients with primary or secondary hepatic malignancies. For patients with normal baseline liver function and without risk factors, an FLR of 20% is needed to maintain postsurgical hepatic function.

Issues to be considered to address the future liver remnant prior to major hepatectomy
Surgery Today, 2020An accurate preoperative evaluation of the hepatic function and application of portal vein embolization in selected patients have helped improve the safety of major hepatectomy. In planning major hepatectomy, however, several issues remain to be addressed.

Comparison of Two Methods of Future Liver Remnant Volume Measurement
Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 2008In liver transplantation, a minimum graft to patient body weight (BW) ratio is required for graft survival; in liver resection, total liver volume (TLV) calculated from body surface area (BSA) is used to determine the future liver remnant (FLR) volume needed for safe hepatic resection.

Automatic future remnant segmentation in liver resection planning
International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and SurgeryLiver resection is a complex procedure requiring precise removal of tumors while preserving viable tissue. This study proposes a novel approach for automated liver resection planning, using segmentations of the liver, vessels, and tumors from CT scans to predict the future liver remnant (FLR), aiming to improve pre-operative planning accuracy and ...

Impact of the future liver remnant volume before major hepatectomy
European Journal of Surgical OncologyFollowing major liver resection, posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is associated with a high mortality rate. As there is no therapy for PHLF available, avoidance remains the main goal. A sufficient future liver remnant (FLR) is one of the most important factors to reduce the risk for PHLF; however, it is not known which patients benefit of ...

Establishing the Minimum Future Liver Remnant Volume for Safe Hepatectomy
Journal of the American College of SurgeonsBACKGROUND: An adequate future liver remnant volume (FLRV%) reduces the risk of posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). This study evaluates (1) the association of FLRV% with grade 4/5 morbidity and (2) the safe FLRV% threshold for PHLF- and non-PHLF-related major morbidity.

Impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on hypertrophy of the future liver remnant in ALPPS
2015Introduction: Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) has been demonstrated as feasible procedure in extended liver resections as a means of successfully increasing the volume of the future liver remnant (FLR). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CTx) is toxic to the[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
