Role of surgical resection for multiple hepatocellular carcinomas

Table 2 Operative procedures in the resection group

Degree of resection	Operative procedure	Number of patients (n = 36)
Major resection	Extended right hepatectomy	1
(n = 19)	Right hepatectomy only	12
	+ wedge resection	1
	+ RFA	1
	Left hepatectomy only	1
	+ wedge resection	1
	Central bisectionectomy only	2
Minor resection	Left lateral sectionectomy only	3
(n = 17)	+ RFA	1
	Sectionectomy only	2
	+ wedge resection	2
	+ RFA	2
	Bisegmentectomy only	1
	+ wedge resection	1
	+ RFA	2
	Segmentectomy only	1
	+ RFA	1
	Wedge resection + RFA	1

En bloc resection (n = 23); multi-site resection (n = 5); resection plus radiofrequency ablation (RFA) (n = 8).
