When planning liver surgery for cancer or tumors, it’s not just about what we remove — it’s about what we leave behind. This is called the Future Liver Remnant (FLR), and it can mean the difference between a safe recovery and liver failure.

In this video, Dr. Sanket Mehta, Surgical Oncologist at SSO Cancer Center, explains:

What FLR (Future Liver Remnant) really means

Why the amount of liver left after surgery matters

How much liver needs to remain in healthy vs diseased livers

How doctors calculate FLR using CT, MRI, and functional tests

What happens if the FLR is too small (PVE, staged surgery, ALPPS)

The dangers of post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF)

How the liver’s unique regeneration power makes surgery possible

Alternatives when surgery isn’t safe

???? Key message: Safe liver surgery isn’t about removing the maximum tumor. It’s about protecting enough healthy liver to keep you alive and well.
