Brief Summary:
This will be a prospective, randomized, double blind trial enrolling patients who will undergo major liver resection. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either octreotide or placebo in the postoperative period. The patients will receive octreotide intravenously continuously for five days after operation. During this period the patients' health will be monitored by performing blood tests including complete metabolic profile, Complete Blood Count (CBC) with/diff., INR and PTT. The functioning of heart will also be monitored post-operatively by EKG. Up to 80 participants will be accrued over a 2 year period. Volumetric CT scans will be performed prior to hepatectomy, 1 week after hepatectomy and 3 months after hepatectomy to evaluate liver regeneration.
