Evaluation of liver regeneration after hemi-hepatectomy by combining computed tomography and post-operative liver function.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Accurate evaluation of postoperative liver regeneration is essential to prevent postoperative liver failure.

Aims

To analyze the predictors that affect liver regeneration after hemi-hepatectomy.

Method

Patients who underwent hemi-hepatectomy in Hangzhou First People's Hospital and Hangzhou Shulan Hospital from January 2016 to December 2021 were enrolled in this study. The regeneration index (RI) was calculated by the following equation: RI = [(postoperative total liver volume {TLV_post} - future liver remnant volume {FLRV}/FLRV] × 100 %. Hepatic dysfunction was defined according to the "TBilpeak>7" standard, which was interpreted as (peak) total bilirubin (TBil) >7.0 mg/dL. Good liver regeneration was defined solely when the RI surpassed the media
