Additional partial hepatectomy at the time of portal vein ligation accelerates the regeneration of the future liver remnant
Abstract Portal vein ligation (PVL) has been adopted to induce hypertrophy of the future liver remnant (FLR) in patients with primarily irresectable liver tumor. However, regeneration of the FLR is not always sufficient to allow curative resection of the portally-deprived tumor-bearing liver lobe. W...
