Cut-off value of liver stiffness measured in kilopascal (kPa) able to predict the occurrence of postoperative liver failure. [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of postoperative hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Definition of the cut-off value in kPa able to predict postoperative liver failure, i.e. the presence of at least one of the following variables: ascites causing a delay in the removal of surgical drainages and/or requiring paracentesis; increase of bilirubin levels >3 mg/dL; alteration of coagulation factors requiring plasma infusion with an INR above 1.50 (with serum bilirubin levels <12mg/dL); renal impairment, defined as blood urea nitrogen >2.00 g/L and/or increase of serum creatinine >2.00 mg/dL requiring only loop diuretics, dopamine/terlipressin, or dialysis.

Transient Elastography in Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Value of Transient Elastography in Predicting Postoperative Liver Failure in Patients Undergoing Liver Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether liver transient elastography performed before the surgical procedure is able to predict liver failure in patients undergoing hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
