Objective To summarize the definitions, risk factors, and preoperative evaluation methods of posthe-patectomy liver failure. Methods Domestic and international publications involving posthepatectomy liver failure were retrieved and reviewed. Results There was no uniform definition of posthepatectomy liver failure, however, the most approbatory definitions were "50-50 criteria" and "International Study Group of Liver Surgery (ISGLS) criteria". Risk factors of posthepatectomy liver failure included patient-related factors, liver-related factors, and surgery-related factors, and preoperative evaluation was mainly based on liver function and liver volume. Conclusion Posthepatectomy liver failure is the main cause of postoperative death, sufficient preoperative evaluation and effective measures to decrease intraoperative blood loss and shorten surgery duration are helpful to prevent and (or) reduce posthepatectomy liver failure.
