Article Synopsis
- ALPPS (Associating Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy) is a groundbreaking surgical technique that allows for the resection of liver tumors previously deemed unresectable by promoting rapid liver growth.
- A systematic review analyzed 28 studies involving 136 patients with primary liver cancer who underwent ALPPS, noting a high R0 resection rate of approximately 97.24% and a 30-day mortality rate of 9.55%.
- Oncological outcomes showed a median disease-free survival of 6 months and overall survival of 11 months, with a 36% recurrence rate during a median follow-up of 10 months.
