Who is studied
All patients scheduled to undergo liver resection who meet the established criteria will be approached for participation in this study during their preoperative visit. Should patients not undergo their liver resection surgery within 30 days of consent they will be excluded and replaced. Patients undergoing a two stage resection will have their time point frozen for up to six months after their initial surgery. If the time before the second stage of their resection exceeds six months, these patients will be excluded and replaced. The time point will restart at the completion of the second time point. If the patient has an incomplete resection without mention of a second stage resection, the patient will be made ineligible, taken off study, and replaced.
