Prediction of Intraoperative Blood Loss and Postoperative Recovery by Liver Stiffness Measurement (Fibroscan®) in Right Hepatectomy

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).
