Core Tip
Core Tip: The manuscript presents the latest research advancement of laparoscopic technique for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal hypertension (PHT) based on a combination of published literature and our single-institution experience. Consistent with previous studies of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) for HCC with PHT, our single-institution experience showed that there exists no statistical difference in both short-term and long-term prognosis of HCC patients after LLR, regardless of whether they suffer from PHT. Retrieval outcomes indicated the possession of short-term and long-term prognostic superiority after laparoscopic treatment compared with non-laparoscopic treatment, and long-term prognostic advantage after LLR compared with laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation, respectively. In addition, this manuscript reviews previous studies and proposes corresponding perspectives on the therapy of hypersplenism, the utilization of Pringle maneuver, and the adoption of anatomical hepatectomy during radical laparoscopic treatment.
