Short- and medium-term impacts of unplanned intraoperative conversion during laparoscopic liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma patients: a propensity score-matched study
Compared to patients who underwent successful LLR, patients in the UCOLR group experienced worse short-term outcomes, although medium-term survival outcomes at 3 years were comparable. Additionally, segment 7 or 8 lesions with high AFP have a greater chance of conversion and an increased rate of recurrence after unplanned conversion. We should be cautious while selecting patient for laparoscopic liver resection.
