Abstract

In a recent issue of this journal, Fernandes et al(1) reported on functional hepatocellular regeneration in elderly patients undergoing hepatectomy. They used (99m) Tc-mebrofinin HBS to quantify liver function before and after surgery and concluded that functional regeneration is already present at postoperative day 5. However, the study has in our view several limitations. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
