Abstract
BACKGROUND: In literature, the reported mortality of posthepatectomy liver failure is <5 % and morbidity is 15-30 %. Around 3-8 % of patients develop liver failure after major hepatic resection. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to provide current definitions and managing posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) as per severity and ISGLS grading. METHOD: A systemic search of pubmed indexed articles was done and relevant articles were selected to formulate latest guidelines for PHLF. CONCLUSION: We were able to make an algorithm for standardizing management so as to identify and treat PHLF as early as possible.
