Abstract
Associating liver partition with portal vein ligation (PVL) for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is rapidly develop and dissemination with the availability of many variants. But as far as we know, it is debatable whether the stage two of ALLPPS can be conducted or not in patients with HBV-associated liver cirrhosis. The regenerative capacity of future liver remnant (FLR) is the most important part of the stage two operation. 30 cases of ALLPPS with HBV-associated liver cirrhosis were completed in our center form Jan 2014 to Dec 2015. 21 cases were conducted stage two operation. We are trying to analyze postoperative liver pathology to evaluate the regenerative capacity of liver with the purpose to predict whether the stage two of ALLPPS can be conducted or not. Current data trend towards that Ishak modification ≤4 suggest the regenerative capacity of FLR is enough, but the final conclusion needs further research.
