Abstract

The enlargement of the non-embolized lobe was caused by hypertrophy rather than hyperplasia suggesting hyperfunction. The resection of the atrophic embolized lobe, leaving the hypertrophic non-embolized lobe was thought to be less surgically stressful than hepatectomy without portal vein embolization.
