right hepatectomy with preoperative LSM
patients undergoing right hepatectomy with preoperative LSM between August 2007 and July 2011
|
Other: preoperative liver stiffness measurement
Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using Fibroscan is a newly introduced noninvasive tool that generates an elastic wave using a vibrator applied to the thoracic wall at the level of the right lobe of the liver and measures the prolongation velocity of the wave, which is directly associated with liver stiffness (LS).
Other Name: Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using Fibroscan®(EchoSens, Paris, France)

- The correlation between the value of liver stiffness measurement and intraoperative blood loss during right hepatectomy [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed for perioperative period, approximate 6 weeks through chart review. ]The investigators will investigate the value of liver stiffness measurement and intraoperative blood loss during right hepatectomy through chart review. The investigators will analyze the correlation between the value of liver stiffness measurement and intraoperative blood loss during right hepatectomy
