Core Tip
Core tip: Several studies have reported the comparison of complete and partial associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS). This meta-analysis, including all of these studies published to date, found that the partial ALPPS is safer than ALPPS in patients without cirrhosis and exhibits the same rate of future liver remnant hypertrophy. However, as the sample size is not large, more randomized controlled trials should be carried out.
