abstract = {Background: The optimal surgery for liver cancer cases with small future liver remnant (FLR) remains controversial; associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS), portal vein embolization (PVE), and portal vein ligation (PVL) are all used.
Methods: We conducted a systematic search in the EMBASE, Medline and Cochrane databases, without year or language restrictions, to identify studies that compared PVE, PVL, and ALPPS. We compared the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of PVE, PVL, and ALPPS using network meta-analyses. this study do not involve ethical issues.
Results: Ten studies and 451 patients were included. PVE had a significantly reduced FLR increase (42.2%; 95% CI, 26.52–57.87; P},
