Lee JKH, Low KJC, Lim BPY, Hannah LAY. Comparison of associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) and portal vein embolization (PVE) in the management of advanced liver tumors. Edorium J Gastrointest Surg 2021;6:100006G02JL2021.ABSTRACT
Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is a relatively new procedure in the management of advanced liver tumors. However, there is limited literature on its benefits over its predecessor—Portal vein embolization (PVE). This review article aims to highlight various aspects of ALPPS and PVE including: (a) patient selection, (b) surgical technique, (c) assessment of volume, growth and function of liver, (d) morbidity and mortality, and (e) oncological outcomes. This could guide surgical clinicians in selecting their approach (ALPPS or PVE) when managing advanced liver tumors.
Keywords: Advanced liver tumors, Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS), Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), Portal vein embolization (PVE)
