    TLDR The patient's liver did not fully grow back and she had serious temporary side effects after a very large liver surgery.
    In 1975, a 19-year-old female patient underwent a massive liver resection, removing 85 to 90 percent of her liver to treat a minimal deviation hepatoma. Post-surgery observations indicated that the extent of the liver resection was at the threshold of what is compatible with survival. Although the patient eventually regained good health after several months, her liver did not fully regenerate. She experienced severe complications, including reversible alopecia and ascites, which were directly related to the extensive liver resection.
