Core Tip	In this review we focus on the small-for-size syndrome and post-hepatectomy liver failure, the most feared complications of liver surgery, fundamentally similar in pathogenesis and clinical manifestations, occurring when the residual liver is not large enough to accommodate the markedly increased portal vein blood ?ow. Our aim is to simplify a concept, which has been a major concern in hepatic surgery for some time. Many efforts have been and are being made to overcome such an important problem in this field.
