Core Tip	Anterior approach has been suggested as an alternative approach to conventional approach for right hepatectomy. But comparative studies have shown conflicting results. To evaluate whether right hepatectomy using the anterior approach for large hepatocellular carcinoma results in better clinical outcomes when compared with the conventional approach. We investigated these two techniques in terms of estimated intraoperative blood loss, massive blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion, operative time, mortality, morbidity, recurrence rate, hospital stay, overall survival and disease-free survival.
