Letter to the Editor on: “A novel nomogram based on preoperative parameters to predict posthepatectomy liver failure in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma”

We read with great interest the article recently published in Surgery titled "A novel nomogram based on preoperative parameters to predict posthepatectomy liver failure in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma."1 The authors constructed a novel nomogram based on indocyanine green retention rate at 15 minutes (ICG R15), alanine transaminase (ALT), albumin rate (ALB), total bilirubin, prothrombin time, aspartate aminotransferase-neutrophil ratio, and liver fibrosis index (FIB-4 score) to predict posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
