Abstract
The study subjects were 92 curativelyresected patients with adequate liver function reserve indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min 15 prothrombin time 70 serum albumin 35 g/dl and macroscopically small ≤30 cm solitary HCC without macroscopic vascular invasion 30 patients underwent AR and 62 patients NAR Postoperative shortterm outcomes including mortality and morbidity and longterm outcomes were compared in the two groupsThere was no significant difference in clinicopathological background in the two groups Although resected liver volume was significantly larger in the AR group than the NAR group p 00001 no significant differences were detected in the incidence of mortality or morbidity For longterm outcomes there were no significant differences between the two groups in diseasefree survival or overall survival Multivariate analysis showed that the extent of surgical procedure was not a significant prognostic factor for diseasefree or overall survival
