Abstract

When the size of the future liver remnant is regarded to be insufficient to sustain liver function in the postoperative course, techniques of portal vein occlusion such as portal vein embolization or portal vein ligation can be used to increase the residual liver volume in the context of a classical two-stage hepatectomy or “associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy” procedure.
