Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Most of the postoperative complications that may occur after hepatectomy are related to the underlying liver background, and the common preoperative tests do not completely predict such complications. Transient elastography by Fibroscan is used to calculate the stiffness and the steatosis of the liver, and it may be also used to predict postoperative complications after hepatectomy

- description
- Calculation of the accuracy of the liver stiffness and steatosis measured with the Fibroscan in predicting complications after hepatectomy. The values of the stiffness and steatosis will be correlated with the number of complications
