• Two-stage liver surgery with preliminary right portal vein occlusion procedure (ligation or embolisation) became standard in clinical practice and allows liver resections in 60-82% of initially inoperable patients. Right portal vein ligation with concomitant liver partition in situ (in situ splitting, ISS) is innovatory and promising approach. Right portal vein ligation and in situ splitting was performed in 40 years old male with two metachronous rectal metastases in right liver lobe and insufficient volume of future liver remnant (22%). MRI on 7th postoperative day showed left liver lobe hypertrophy rate of 77% and left liver lobe volume increase from 22 to 33.5%. Right hemihepatectomy was performed on day 8 after the first stage. There were no signs of postoperative liver failure. Conclusion. New two-stage surgery approach (ISS) can decrease number of patients who were inoperable because of insufficient volume of future liver remnant and high risk of postoperative liver failure.
