Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of the study is to investigate the long-term outcomes of minimally invasive liver surgery (robotic vs laparoscopic) for hepatocellular carcinoma patients of stage BCLC 0-A. Data from two tertiary centers for liver surgery will be retrospectively reviewed. Patients will be divided in two cohorts (robot; laparoscopy). The primary endpoint will be recurrence-free and overall survival; secondary endpoints were incidence, pattern, and treatment of recurrences.
