Core Tip

Core tip: This is a retrospective study of patients who underwent anatomic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma. Our study has some statistically significant findings regarding estimated blood loss and hypotension to survival. Simultaneously, tumor stage and preoperative cirrhosis adversely affected the recurrence-free survival rate in hepatocellular carcinoma patients following anatomic hepatectomy.
