*, authors include both major and minor hepatectomy results; #, values are expressed as median. EBL, estimated blood loss; LOS, length of hospital stay; RH, right hepatectomy; LH, left hepatectomy; RT, right trisegmentectomy; ERH, extended right hepatectomy; LLS, left lateral segmentectomy; S, segmentectomy.
