ObjectiveTo review the current status and progress of surgical methods for inducing hepatic volume hyperplasia. MethodThe procedures inducing liver volume regeneration in clinical practice, including portal vein embolization, liver venous deprivation, Yttrium-90 selective internal radiation therapy, and associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy were reviewed and summarized. ResultsAll kinds of surgical methods to induce liver volume hyperplasia could effectively stimulate the increase in liver volume, which could provide more surgical opportunities for patients with too small future liver remnant, but there were differences in the degree of trauma, proliferation efficiency and popularization and acceptance. ConclusionsAll kinds of operations provide new hope for patients with too little residual liver volume after operation, and have good application scenarios. However, at present, there is no unified opinion on the comparison between the advantages and disadvantages of each operation and the best indication, which needs further study.
