The inclusion criteria for surgery were as follows. It was assumed that the patients were in a generally good condition to tolerate major laparotomy and that the tumors were within the extent of resections. Hepatic reserve was assessed using biochemical tests and ICG-R15 to determine whether hepatectomy could be tolerated[12]. Preoperative computed tomography (Vincent; Fujifilm, Japan) findings were analyzed to calculate the liver volume. The maximum hepatectomy volume was set at 65%.
