During hepatectomy, surgeons often prefer to restrict fluid intake, believing that this can lower central venous pressure (CVP) and reduce intraoperative blood loss. However, fluid restriction may lead to inadequate perfusion of vital organs and even contribute to postoperative organ dysfunction, such as acute kidney injury (AKI). Therefore, this study aims to compare the effects of restrictive versus liberal fluid therapy on major complications following hepatectomy.
