Abstract:
The prevention and treatment of posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a difficult problem for hepatectomy. PHLF is characterized by many risk factors, limited treatment methods and high mortality. There are many factors that lead to the insufficient quantity or quality of postoperative remnant liver cells, such as the comorbid conditions of patients, underlying disease of the liver, excessive liver resection and so on, which are increase the incidence of PHLF. However, the therapeutic treatment of PHLF is limited at present, the key to reduce the morbidity and mortality of PHLF lies in the accurate evaluation and screening of high-risk patients. This paper reviewed the relevant literature on the definition, risk factors and clinical prevention and treatment of posthepatectomy liver failure.
