Key Words	Hepatectomy; Liver failure; Decision tree
Core Tip	We have establish a decision tree for safe hepatectomy based on four variables: normal or cirrhotic liver, Child-Turcotte-Pugh score, the indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min, and the ratio of reserved functional liver volume to standard liver volume. Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) has been identified by the "50-50" criteria. The Chinees consensus decision tree expands the indications for hepatic resection for liver tumor and does not increase the PHLF rate compared to the Swiss-Clavien and Tokyo university-Makuuchi decision trees. The Chinees consensus decision tree would be a safe and effective algorithm for hepatectomy in patients with liver tumor.
