Prospective single-center cohort study analyzing the efficacy of complete laparoscopic resection on recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma

摘要

BackgroundLaparoscopic hepatectomy is increasingly being used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, few studies have examined the treatment of recurrent HCC in patients who received a prior hepatectomy. The present prospective study compared the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic surgery with conventional open surgery in HCC patients with postoperative tumor recurrence.
