[Hepatic regeneration after major hepatectomy in children].
Liver regeneration pattern and metabolic changes after major hepatectomy were studied comparatively in children and in adults and the results were obtained as follows: --The liver regeneration in children was more rapid than that in adults. The residual liver volume after major hepatectomy was restored to preoperative volume at 8 weeks after operation. --The shape of regenerated liver showed spheric. This feature was more significant up to the extent of the youth. --Serum protein was continued in low levels after operation and was never restored to preoperative value. --Serum transaminase level was increased more slightly in children and was normalized more rapidly. --Serum alkaline-phosphatase was increased gradually after operation.
