Abstract

More than 160 participants took part in the conference for 2 days. A total of 58 world renown experts on ALPPS (associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy) were invited from all over the world. The faculty was divided into many different subgroups that were in contact during the 2-3 months before the conference analyzing all the most important aspects of this technique and summarizing it in a common structured work to be presented during the congress, giving final recommendations in the form of bulleted point statements. The aim was to gain a solid basis of preliminary agreement on many controversial aspects of ALPPS. A poster area was also organized with 35 posters reporting mostly mono-institutional experiences on single aspects of the technique from all five continents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
