“…Thus, few surgical centers propose the routine en-bloc PVR ("notouch" technique) (7,20,22,(44)(45)(46), while most of the surgical teams recommend the selective use of the PVR (2,5,6,11,15,18,21,23,25,28, 29,43), only when the preoperative imaging or intraoperative exploration suspect portal vein invasion by the tumor (8), as in was the case in the present series. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis have shown that the sensitivity and specificity of a preoperative contrastenhanced computed tomography in detecting a portal vein invasion in a PHC patient are 89% and 92%, respectively (47).…”
