ETL (g)	443.1 ± 18.8	446.9 ± 21.5	457.0 ± 19.8	0.77	0.86
WRL (g)	391.8 ± 19.4	389.8 ± 17.4	400.8 ± 21.4	0.95	0.92
ERL(g)	51.3 ± 6.8	57.1 ± 8.5	56.2 ± 7.1	0.89	0.84
Proportion of ERL	11.8% ± 2.3%	12.8% ± 3.3%	12.2% ± 3.5%	0.87	0.83

Control group, no shunt placement; S₁ group, portal flow maintained at an average 2.0 times baseline values; S₂ group, portal flow maintained at an average 3.2 times baseline flow. Data expressed as mean ± SD. Estimated total liver volume (ETL) = (weight of left trilobes) × 100/80; WRL: Weight of resected liver; ERL: Estimated residual liver volume.
