Background:There is an ongoing debate on the feasibility,safety,and oncological efficacy of the associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy(ALppS)*** aim of this study was to compare ALppS,two-staged hepatectomy(TSH),and portal vein embolization(pVE)/ligation(pVL)using updated traditional meta-analysis and network meta-analysis(NMA).Data sources:Electronic databases were used in a systematic literature *** traditional metaanalysis and NMA were performed and *** and major morbidity were selected as primary ***:Nineteen studies including 1200 patients were selected from the pool of 436 *** these patients,315(31%)and 702(69%)underwent ALppS and portal vein occlusion(pVO),*** mortality based on updated traditional meta-analysis,subgroup analysis of the randomized controlled trials(RCTs),and both Bayesian and frequentist NMA did not demonstrate significant differences between the ALppS cohort and the pVE,pVL,and TSH ***,analysis of RCTs did not demonstrate significant differences of major morbidity between the ALppS and pVO *** ALppS cohort demonstrated significantly more favorable outcomes in hypertrophy parameters,time to operation,definitive hepatectomy,and R0 margins rates compared with the pVO *** contrast,1-year disease-free survival was significantly higher in the pVO cohort compared to the ALppS ***:This study is the first to use updated traditional meta-analysis and both Bayesian and frequentist NMA and demonstrated no significant differences in 90-day mortality between the ALppS and other hepatic hypertrophy ***,two high quality RCTs including 147 patients demonstrated no significant differences in major morbidity between the ALppS and pVO cohorts.
