Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: The albumin level on postoperative day 7 was significantly higher in the LADG group (3.5 mg/dl) than in the ODG group (3.1 mg/dl; p=0.042), and the volume of drainage on postoperative day 2 was significantly lower in the LADG group (154.3 ml) than in the ODG group (403.1 ml; p=0.013). Diuretics were needed by three patients (16.7%) in the LADG group and six patients (18.7%) in the ODG group for control of ascites (p=0.587). For the patients with liver cirrhosis, none of the parameters between the two groups were significantly different. CONCLUSION:
