Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has evolved to represent an important surgical strategy for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, due to disadvantages, including donor risks and higher rates of perioperative complications, LDLT has been considered as a second-line treatmen
The best treatment option for patients with single, early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cirrhosis, good liver function, and absence of portal hypertension remains to be established. The aim of this work was to compare the outcome of liver resection (LR) with that of liver transplantation (LT) f
