The maximum extent of hepatic resection compatible with a safe postoperative outcome is unknown. The study goal was to determine the incidence and impact of a small remnant liver volume after major liver resection in patients with normal liver parenchyma. Among 265 major hepatectomies performed at our institution (1998 to 2000), 138 patients with normal liver and a remnant liver volume (RLV) systematically calculated from the ratio of RLV to functional liver volume (FLV) were studied. Patients were divided into five groups based on RLV-FLV ratio from less than or equal to30% to greater than or equal toW%. Kinetics of postoperative liver function tests were correlated with RILV. Postoperative complications were stratified by RLV-FLV ratios. Ninety patients (65%) underwent resection of up to four Couinaud segments. The RLV-FLV ratio was less than or equal to60% in 94 patients (68%) including only 13 (9%) with RLV-FLV less than or equal to30%. There was no linear correlation between the number of resected segments and the RLV-FLV. Postoperative serum bilirubin but not prothrombin time correlated with extent of resection. The incidence of complications including liver failure was not different among groups. Analysis of the four groups with a RLV-FLV ratio
