Impact of steatosis on perioperative outcome following hepatic resection

Fatty liver disease may interfere with liver regeneration and is postulated to result in an adverse outcome for patients subjected to partial hepatectomy. This study examines the impact of steatosis on outcome following hepatic resection for neoplasms. All patients with fatty livers (n = 325) who un...

Description
Summary:Fatty liver disease may interfere with liver regeneration and is postulated to result in an adverse outcome for patients subjected to partial hepatectomy. This study examines the impact of steatosis on outcome following hepatic resection for neoplasms. All patients with fatty livers (n = 325) who underwent hepatectomy between December 1991 and September 2001 were identified from a prospective database. Slides were reviewed and steatosis was quantified as follows:
