We hypothesize that assessment of the estimated future liver remnant function (eFLRF), combining future remnant liver volume (FLRV) with total liver function (TLF), is an accurate formula for prediction of PHLF.<h4>Methods</h4>88 patients undergoing hepatectomy were included. The ratio of the future liver remnant vol ...[more]
