LONG-TERM OUTCOMES AFTER LAPAROSCOPIC REPEAT LIVER RESECTION FOR
RECURRENT HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA
A global systematic review and meta-analysis in 2013 reported that the long-term outcomes were
[41]
comparable between LLR and OLR for initial HCC . Subsequently, propensity score-matched studies
comparing LLR and OLR for initial HCC revealed that overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival
(RFS) were not different between LLR and OLR, while short-term outcomes were significantly better with
[45]
LLR [42-44] . Similar results were obtained in a study limited to patients undergoing major hepatectomy .
However, no randomized controlled trials have compared LLR and OLR for initial HCC. LLR might be
[46]
performed in select patients. Moreover, Stiles et al. reported that unplanned conversion to OLR from
LLR for HCC was associated with inferior OS compared to non-converted cases. Therefore, the long-term
prognosis of LLR might be comparable to OLR as long as the indication for LLR is carefully evaluated.
Regarding RLR, few studies have compared long-term survival outcomes between laparoscopic RLR and
[11]
open RLR. A recent multicenter, propensity score-based study by Morise et al. , which included 42
surgery centers around the world, reported comparable median survival times between laparoscopic RLR
and open RLR (12.55 years vs. 8.94 years; P = 0.086), although intraoperative blood loss was significantly
