Abstract

In two-stage hepatectomy (TSH) for bilobar liver metastases from colorectal cancer, future liver remnant (FLR) growth can be achieved using several techniques like right portal vein ligation (RPVL) and right portal vein embolization (RPVE). Few heterogeneous studies (patients, diagnosis, hepatopathy, technical modalities) have compared these two techniques with contradictory results regarding the FLR growth. The objective of this study was to compare the FLR hypertrophy of left hemi-liver (segments I to IV) after RPVL and RPVE in a serie of consecutives patients all treated for colorectal liver metastases (CLM).
