Core Tip	This article reviews the role of liver resection and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), comparing their pros and cons and proposing a potential trajectory involving the combination of surgical resection and RFA in future therapy. Despite percutaneous RFA's advantages, its high recurrence rate compared to resection remains a challenge. Techniques like artificial ascites and imaging enhancements aim to improve percutaneous RFA's efficacy and reduce recurrence. Minimally invasive surgery with intraoperative RFA (MIS-IORFA) enhances RFA's precision and safety. Applying these refined techniques to MIS-IORFA could yield long-term benefits in HCC management.
