Abstract

Aiming to improve the postoperative outcome of associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS), the effect of physical prehabilitation (PP) was investigated in experimental model. Male Wistar rats (n = 106) divided to PP and sedentary (S) groups underwent ALPPS. Changes in liver weight, Ki67 index and liver volume by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were evaluated. Liver function was assessed by laboratory parameters and Tc-mebrofenin single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS). Utilizing endotoxemia model mortality and septic parameters were investigated. Liver mass (p < 0.001), Ki67 index (p < 0.001) and MRI liver volume (p < 0.05) increased in the PP group compared to the S group. Both standard laboratory parameters (p < 0.001) and HBS (p < 0.05) showed enhanced liver function in the PP group compared to the S group. The vulnerability of animals improved in the PP group, as mortality decreased (p < 0.001), while septic laboratory parameters improved (p < 0.05) compared to the S group in the endotoxemia model. Our study demonstrated for the first time the beneficial role of PP on not only volumetric but also functional liver regeneration and postoperative vulnerability after ALLPS.
