Background Previous studies have reported a close connection between the spleen and
hepatic tumours. We investigated the prognostic value of postoperative splenic volume …

Background The study aimed at retrospectively assessing the impact of spleen volume
(SpV) on the development of posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) in patients who …

Background The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal hypertension (PH)
is very poor. Splenomegaly is considered important evidence of PH. Our aim was to clarify …

Objectives Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) can occur as a major complication after
hepatic resection (HR) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and negatively …

Background The purpose of this case series is to investigate the relationship between
splenic thickness (ST) and postoperative outcomes after hepatic resection in hepatitis B …

Purpose: The high recurrence rate of HCC has a poor impact on the quality of life and
survival time of patients. Especially for late recurrence, poor data are available in analysis …

Results The overall survival was significantly shorter in the SVI≥ 30% group than in the
SVI< 30% group (3-year survival= 52% vs. 28%, p< 0.05). The disease-free survival was …

The objective of this study was to explore the value of spleen–remnant liver volume ratio for
hepatocellular carcinoma surgery and liver reserve assessment. Spleen–remnant liver …

Background. The prognostic value and non-invasive predictors of splenomegaly in cirrhotic
patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after curative resection remain unknown …

Background After splenectomy in patients with chronic liver disease, a large spleen was
reported to be not only a risk factor of portal/splenic vein thrombosis (PSVT), but also a …
