a. ISLT (PVE + in situ split + resection) patients demonstrated a significant increase in FLRV post split. b. Increase in FLRV to bodyweight ratio post split for ISLT group. The dotted line indicates the critical FLR to bodyweight ratio of 0.5. BW: body weight. FLRV: future liver remnant volume. ml: milliliter. *p < 0.05; ***p < 0.01
