Recently, minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) has gained wide consensus in the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

We analyzed the intention-to-treat survival of HCC patients treated with MILS vs. the open approach and eventually waitlisted for SLT. The secondary end-point was identification of risk factors for post-transplant death and tumor recurrence.

Abstract
Recently, minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) has gained wide consensus in the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its role in the setting of a salvage liver transplantation (SLT) has been poorly investigated. We analyzed the intention-to-treat survival of HCC patients treated with MILS vs. the open approach and eventually waitlisted for SLT. The secondary end-point was identification of risk factors for post-transplant death and tumor recurrence.
