Minimum invasive associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy

Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) has gained interest, as the potential alternative to portal vein embolisation for inducing future liver remnant hypertrophy in patients at risk of post-hepatectomy liver failure but is associated with high morbidity and mortality. As a result, several variant ALPPS have been reported to reduce ALPPS related morbidity and mortality. ALPPS is able to induce more...
