The patient with massive hepatic necrosis and two of the patients with chronic aggressive hepatitis had HBsAg positive tests preoperatively.
*
Included seven liver cell carcinomas–three with cirrhosis–three duct cell carcinomas at the confluence of the right and left hepatic ducts which caused complete bile obstruction, one cholangiocarcinoma and one hemangioendothelial sarcoma. The two patients who are still alive had small obstructing duct cell carcinomas, but in one of these, there have been hepatic recurrences after 21 months.

The four deaths after one year occurred after 12, 13½, 19 and 20½ months. Causes are given in text and in Table VI.
