Preoperative evaluation of liver regeneration following hepatectomy in hepatocellular carcinoma using magnetic resonance elastography.

ABSTRACT:

Background

For patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing hepatectomy, insufficient remnant liver regenerative capacity can lead to liver failure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential role of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) for the preoperative prediction of liver regeneration in patients with HCC after partial hepatectomy (PH).

Methods

A total of 54 patients with HCC undergoing MRE prior to PH were retrospectively included. The total functional liver, volume of preoperative future liver remnant (LVpre), and volume of postoperative liver remnant (LVpost), respectively, were measured, and the regeneration index (RI) and parenchymal hepatic resection rate (PHRR) were manually calculated. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses
