| Core Tip |
Laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) is a feasible and safe procedure for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with moderate cirrhosis, particularly Liver Damage Grading System (LDGS) B or C. In this single-center retrospective study with propensity score matching, LH significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss and postoperative ascites, shortened hospital stay, and improved five-year overall survival compared to open hepatectomy. LDGS provides a practical tool for selecting surgical candidates. These findings support LH as a preferred approach in HCC patients with grade B liver damage, optimizing long-term outcomes while preserving liver function. |
