The ALPPS for HCC with fibrosis/cirrhosis is often associated with limited growth of future liver remnant (FLR). The new TAE-Salvaged ALPPS can induce significant FLR increase in patients with HCC and fibrosis/cirrhosis who fail to achieve sufficient FLR hypertrophy after conventional ALPPS stage-1.

Intraoperative Electron Radiotherapy (IOERT) significantly improved the recurrence free survival rates in patients with centrally located hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent narrow-margin (<1cm) hepatectomy. Furthermore, MVI (+) patients receiving IOERT had improved recurrence free and overall survival outcomes compared to MVI (-) patients.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the early postoperative changes in remnant liver function, volume and elasticity after major liver resection and its correlation with postoperative outcomes. This information can provide new insights that influence selection of candidates for liver resection, their postoperative monitoring and their management.
