Two-stage hepatectomy for multiple, bilobar liver metastases from colorectal cancer aimed to minimize liver failure risk by performing the second resection after regeneration, but impact of this strategy on volume of the future liver remnant (FLR) remained to be demonstrated. We compared two-stage hepatectomy with one stage following portal vein embolization (PVE) for multiple, bilobar liver metastases from colorectal cancer as to effects on volume of the FLR. ⋯ Superiority of two-stage hepatectomy in hypertrophy of the FLR was confirmed.
