Background: A regenerative function is in one of the functions of liver, and if it is a normal liver, it will reproduce even to capacity almost before an operation within one year after excision. However, liver substance is pressed over the long period of time, and, as for liver cysts, a postoperative liver reproduction process is unknown. Comparison examination of the multiple liver cysts postoperative liver reproduction was carried out with after the operation.Patients: It was aimed at one example of a multiple liver cysts operation and three metastatic live tumor (two extended left lobectomy, one right lobectomy) in this hospital. Liver volume was measured before an operation and 14 postoperative days CT, and comparison examination of the standard liver volume ratio called for from height weight was carried out.Results: Before an operation of liver cysts and 14 postoperative day, liver volume was 151% 45 or 69% in 450 or 680 ml. Before an operation of control group and day 14 postoperative day liver volume was an average of 128% at 116 and 128 or 140% in 62, 72, 56, 71, and 49 or 68% at 618, 720, 532, 680, and 516 or 720 ml, respectively.Conclusion: Multiple liver cysts postoperative liver reproduction was promoted compared with after the liver resection.
