| Core Tip |
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) located in liver segments VII and VIII presents unique surgical challenges due to their posterior-superior position. This study compared robotic liver resection (R-LR) with robotic intraoperative radiofrequency ablation (RIO-RFA) in groups with de novo and first recurrent HCC. In de novo HCC, survival outcomes were comparable between R-LR and RIO-RFA, whereas R-LR conferred superior overall and recurrence-free survival in recurrent cases. Subgroup analyses identified tumor size, platelet count, and postoperative complications as critical prognostic factors. These findings suggest R-LR should be prioritized, while RIO-RFA may remain an option in carefully selected low-risk patients. |
