Abstract Curative resections were performed on 121 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma from 1975 to 1986 at Kyushu University Hospital, Japan. Up to August 1987 there was a recurrence in 41, detected between 4 and 86 (mean 20) months after surgery. Intrahepatic recurrences were the most c
Using selective angiograms of the liver, we analyzed the patterns of intrahepatic recurrence of hepatocellular carcinomas following curative surgery. In 33 patients with intraheptaic recurrences, seven patients (2 1 %) had a recurrence near the resected hepatic stump. The remaining 26 had either a n
A total of 277 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) underwent hepatic resection over a 20-year period. Twelve of 36 patients with recurrence confined to extrahepatic organs underwent surgical resection. There were no complications but one patient died in hospital from secondary intrahepatic
