remaining liver, remaining (maxilla and mandible), & remaining lung,


Explanation:

"Residual" is also used in place of "remaining".

I guess this is from a cancer patient's medical report. This patient probably underwent a resection surgery to have the tumor which had spreaded to liver, jaw, and liver removed. The description is about the remaining parts of those organs.

Just a guess and for your reference only.
