Interobserver variability in the preoperative assessment of future liver remnant function using hepatobiliary scintigraphy [PDF]
Background Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a serious complication following hepatic resection and associated with a high mortality rate. The risk of PHLF can be estimated pre-resection by assessing the function of the future liver remnant (FLR ...

New Perspectives in the Assessment of Future Remnant Liver [PDF]
In order to achieve microscopic radical resection margins and thus better survival, surgical treatment of hepatic tumors has become more aggressive in the last decades, resulting in an increased rate of complex and extended liver resections. Postoperative outcomes mainly depend on the size and quality of the future remnant liver (FRL). Liver resection,

Optimization of the future remnant liver: review of the current strategies in Europe [PDF]
Liver resection still represent the treatment of choice for liver malignancies, but in some cases inadequate future remnant liver (FRL) can lead to post hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) that still represents the most common cause of death after hepatectomy.

Current Modalities for the Assessment of Future Remnant Liver Function [PDF]
While imaging studies such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging allow the volumetric assessment of the liver segments, only indirect information is provided concerning the quality of the liver parenchyma and its actual functional capacity.
