Abstract

Introduction Techniques to increase the future liver remnant (FLR) prior to resection expand resectability of borderline resectable liver tumors. After portal vein embolization (PVE), only 60-70% of resections are feasible. Liver growth after PVE has been shown to be impacted by age, cirrhosis, diabetes and cholestasis. Malnutrition is associated with a smaller total liver volume and worse outcomes after liver resection. Skeletal muscle index (SMI) is an objective measure of malnutrition obtained from cross-sectional imaging.
