Abstract:
Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is a new surgical management which brings hopes of cure to patients with primary or metastatic liver tumor who do not have sufficient future liver remnant (FLR).This review summarizes the current research on the development,indication,surgical procedures and safety of ALPPS.It also discusses the major concerns and unanswered doubts of ALPPS,such as the comparison with selective portal vein embolization (PVE) and the long-term oncological progression.
