Pure Laparoscopic Versus Open Right Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patients With Cirrhosis: A Propensity Score Matched Analysis.

TLDR
Even in patients with cirrhosis, pureLRH is not less safe than the traditional open approach and in selected patients, pure LRH for HCC appears to represent a viable alternative to ORH.
Abstract
Objective:We aimed to describe our experience with pure laparoscopic right hepatectomy (LRH) and to compare its outcomes with those of open right hepatectomy (ORH) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with liver cirrhosis.Background:Laparoscopic liver resection has been reported as a safe and

New advances in the diagnosis and management of hepatocellular carcinoma

TL;DR: Several positive, phase III, randomized controlled trials have expanded the systemic treatment options for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with promising long term outcomes, especially trials using combination treatments, which could also have eventual implications for the treatment of earlier stage disease.

Outcomes following laparoscopic versus open major hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with cirrhosis: a propensity score-matched analysis

TL;DR: LMH for HCC patients with liver cirrhosis showed comparable results in terms of postoperative morbidity and oncological outcomes compared with traditional open procedure, suggesting that LMH may serve as a safe and feasible alternative for selected H CC patients with Cirrhosis.
