Research progress in the pathogenesis,prevention and control measures of small-for-size syndrome
Small-for-size syndrome(SFSS)is a clinical syndrome with symptoms such as hyperbilirubinemia with cholestasis due to the inability of small volume liver tissue to maintain normal function after surgery.It could occur after small volume liver transplantation or extended liver resection.Serious complications such as sepsis,renal insuffi-ciency,gastrointestinal dysfunction,and bleeding may occur in the late stage.It's significant to fully understand its mechanism for the prevention and treatment of SFSS.This review focuses on the research progress in the pathogenesis,prevention and control measures of SFSS.
