Core Tip	A systematic review and meta-analysis of post-hepatectomy quality of life (QOL) assessments were conducted. A total of ten studies were included in the meta-analysis. QOL was better after hepatectomy than after transarterial chemoembolization. QOL was also better after laparoscopic hepatectomy than after open hepatectomy. The outcomes of post-hepatectomy QOL evaluations could depend on the type of questionnaire used, the timing of the assessment, and the etiology of the hepatic disease.
