Intraoperative simulation of remnant liver function during anatomic liver resection with indocyanine green clearance (LiMON) measurements

ConclusionsIntraoperative ICG clearance measurements allow real‐time monitoring of intraoperative liver function during surgery. Trial clamping of arterial and portovenous inflow accurately predicts immediate post‐resection liver function. The intraoperative measurement of liver function and simulation of post‐resection liver function may help to avoid PHLF.
