Core Tip	The efficacy of surgical resection over nonsurgical ablation for the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma has long been debated. In previous studies, a meta-analysis was conducted on cases of resection (RES) vs radiofrequency ablation or RES vs other single nonsurgical ablation methods. Our meta-analysis was designed to determine the superior choice of treatment for small hepatocellular carcinoma from among surgical resection and nonsurgical ablation methods.
