BACKGROUND: Inadequate remnant liver volume is a major cause of @entity1578 . Preoperative @entity887 ( @entity887 ) is used clinically to prevent postoperative @entity7752 . PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative @entity887 , by using a combination of gelatin sponge and @entity7548 to induce @entity1184 of future liver remnant (FLR) in @entity1 with a @entity5 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: @entity887 using a combination of gelatin sponge and histoacryl glue was performed in 11 @entity1 (nine @entity1 , two @entity1 ; mean age 60 years, range 46-70 years). These @entity1 were diagnosed with a @entity5 before surgery and their FLR volumes were judged as insufficient to allow for safe resection (FLR <25% in @entity1 with a normal liver or FLR <40% in @entity1 with a @entity409 ). Liver volume changes, levels of biochemical markers, complications related to @entity887 , and @entity260 were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS: @entity887 was successful in all @entity1 , and there were no procedural complications. The enlargement of nonembolized liver lobe was 30% (mean 118 cm3). A planned hepatectomy was cancelled in four @entity1 due to the presence of a late-detected extrahepatic @entity3 . Seven of the 11 @entity1 underwent hepatectomy without complications. CONCLUSION: Preoperative @entity887 with a combination of gelatin sponge and histoacryl glue is a safe and effective procedure to induce @entity1184 of nonembolized parts of the liver.
