Core Tip

Core Tip: Only 20%-30% of newly-diagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients are feasible for surgical resection. We report a HCC patient who underwent successful laparoscopic right trisectionectomy after conversion therapy with portal vein embolization and transarterial chemoembolization. There are few reports in the literature. Our case provided reference for clinicians in terms of both conversion therapy and laparoscopic right trisectionectomy.
