Prediction of Posthepatectomy Liver Failure Proposed by the International Study Group of Liver Surgery: Residual Liver Function Estimation With 99mTc-Galactosyl Human Serum Albumin Scintigraphy

PurposeThe International Study Group of Liver Surgery (ISGLS) proposed a definition and grading system for posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). We evaluated the usefulness of residual liver function estimation using 99mTc-galactosyl human serum albumin (99mTc-GSA) for the prediction of PHLF.Methods
