Popis: Objectives We investigated whether chronological changes in portal flow and clinical factors play a role in the liver regeneration (LR) process after right donor-hepatectomy. Materials and methods Participants in this prospective study comprised 58 donors who underwent right donor-hepatectomy during the period February 2014 to February 2015 at a single medical institution. LR was estimated using two equations: remnant left liver (RLL) growth (%) and liver volumetric recovery (LVR) (%). Donors were classified into an excellent regeneration (ER) group or a moderate regeneration (MR) group based on how their LR on postoperative day 7 compared to the median value. Results Multivariate analysis revealed that low residual liver volume (OR = .569, 95% CI: .367– .882) and high portal venous velocity in the immediate postoperative period (OR = 1.220, 95% CI: 1.001–1.488) were significant predictors of LR using the RLL growth equation; high portal venous velocity in the immediate postoperative period (OR = 1.325, 95% CI: 1.081–1.622) was a significant predictor of LR using the LVR equation. Based on the two equations, long-term LR was significantly greater in the ER group than in the MR group (p < .001). Conclusion Portal venous velocity in the immediate postoperative period was an important factor in LR. The critical time for short-term LR is postoperative day 7; it is associated with long-term LR in donor-hepatectomy.
