Background Partial hepatectomy and cyst fenestration (PHCF) selectively provides clinical
benefit in highly symptomatic patients with polycystic liver disease (PLD). This study aims to
ascertain whether the reduction in liver volume (LV) achieved by PHCF is sustained long
term. Study Design Clinical data were retrieved from the electronic records of all patients
with PLD who underwent PHCF between 1985 and 2014. Preoperative LVs (LV1),
postoperative LVs (LV2), and late follow-up LVs (LV3) were measured from magnetic …
