Prognostic Impact of Hepatectomy Versus Radiofrequency Ablation for Non‐Small Hepatocellular Carcinoma (2–3 cm): A Case‐Matched Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study aims to elucidate prognostic outcomes of hepatectomy versus RFA for primary 2–3 cm HCC. Hepatectomy may offer superior prognostic benefits, especially in those with elevated AFP levels. The local recurrence rate in hepatectomy is significantly lower than RFA.

Surgical Volume and Short‐Term Outcomes After Advanced Hepatectomy in the Postpandemic Era: Analysis of the Japanese National Clinical Database (2018–2023)

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This national survey using the National Clinical Database in Japan revealed a persistent decline in the number of advanced hepatectomies, even after the COVID‐19 pandemic. Despite this trend, surgical safety was effectively maintained in the postpandemic period using risk‐adjusted metrics.
