CORRECTION

Correction to: Tong YF, Meng N, Chen MQ, Ying HN, Xu M, Lu B, Hong JJ, Wang YF, Cai XJ. Maturity of associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy-derived liver regeneration in a rat model (World J Gastroenterol 2017; 24(10): 1107-1119)[1].

Erratum: In the “Conclusion of Abstract”, “Core tip”, “Discussion” and “Research perspectives”, the description regarding the relationship between the volumetric and functional proliferation during ALPPS-derived liver regeneration should be revised. Specifically, the sentence that reads “as the ALPPS-derived proliferation in volume lags behind the functional regeneration” should be revised to “as the ALPPS-derived functional regeneration lags behind the proliferation in volume”.

Conclusion of Abstract: The sentence “This could be convincing evidence that the stage II of ALPPS should be performed prudently in patients with marginally adequate FLR, as the ALPPS-derived proliferation in volume lags behind the functional regeneration” should be revised to “This could be convincing evidence that stage II of ALPPS should be performed prudently in patients with marginally adequate FLR, as the ALPPS-derived functional regeneration lags behind the proliferation in volume”.

Core tip: The last sentence “as the ALPPS-derived proliferation in volume lags behind the functional regeneration” should be revised to “as the ALPPS-derived functional regeneration lags behind the proliferation in volume”.

Discussion: In line 8, the sentence “rapid increase in volume derived from ALPPS lags behind the functional proliferation” should be revised to “that ALPPS-derived functional regeneration lags behind the proliferation in volume”. In addition, the last sentence “as the ALPPS-derived proliferation in volume lags behind the functional regeneration” should be revised to “as the ALPPS-derived functional regeneration lags behind the proliferation in volume”.

Research perspectives: In line 2, the sentence “as the ALPPS-derived proliferation in volume lags behind the functional regeneration” should be revised to “as the ALPPS-derived functional regeneration lags behind the proliferation in volume”.
