Total and segmental liver volume variations by Abdalla, Eddie

“…Similarly, extended resections of up to 80% of the functional hepatic parenchyma can be performed with acceptable complication rates in patients with primary and metastatic hepatobiliary malignancies in the absence of chronic liver disease.4., 13., 14., 15. and 16. Indeed, improvement in outcome and decrease in complications after extended hepatic resections of increasing complexity have been linked to preservation of adequate functional parenchyma.17 There are few studies in the literature describing the relative contributions of the anatomic hepatic segments to the TLV. …”
