Fibroscan Predicts Complications After Hepatectomy

NCT02454686 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 240

Last updated 2015-05-27

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Most of the postoperative complications that may occur after hepatectomy are related to the underlying liver background, and the common preoperative tests do not completely predict such complications. Transient elastography by Fibroscan is used to calculate the stiffness and the steatosis of the liver, and it may be also used to predict postoperative complications after hepatectomy
