Abstract
More than 15% of associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy procedures were performed in patients who may have had no indication for a two-stage hepatectomy, especially in the group of patients with right hepatectomy. Thus, it appears that there is a risk of the overuse of associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy because of its great potential to induce volume growth. Due to the high perioperative risk of associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy, indications should be carefully reconsidered.
