Abstract: This study assessed the significance of measuring liver stiffness using virtual touch quantification before hepatectomy to predict posthepatectomy refractory ascites. A total of 267 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent hepatectomy were prospectively analyzed. Liver… read more here.
