PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: at 2 weeks or 6 weeks depending on group

Population: The numbers are not the same because depending on the variable measured (some might have missing data) and its timepoint (baseline, visit 2, 3 or 4), there are more or less patients. For example, 29 were initially enrolled, 24 had data available after the baseline visit, 21 had MRI liver data at visit 3 (1 motnh post surgery) and 16 had MRI liver data at 6 months.

Intra-hepatocellular lipid content will be measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: at the time of surgery

Complexity of surgery will be assessed by the surgeon at the time of surgery (either after 2 weeks for the Control group and 2-week LCD group or after 6 weeks for the 6-week LCD group) The complexity of the surgery was assessed through a score on a complexity scale based on questionnaires previously published by Anders Thorell"s and David Edholm"s groups (Edholm et al., 2011, Van Nieuwenhove et al., 2011). The scores (1-5) for 7 variables: exposure, bleeding, difficulty in dissection, difficulty in reconstruction, surgical judgment, technical demand and psychological stress were combined into a complexity of surgery score with a minimum of 7 (very little complexity) and a maximum of 35 (very high complexity).
