A Comparative Study of Surgical Approaches for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Conversion versus Direct Resection.

Although there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of surgical extent and transfer rate, the proportion of operations involving 3 or more liver segments in the conversion group (54%) was greater than that in the operating group (28%), and the transfer rate in the conversion group (20%) was higher than that in the operating group (8%), suggesting that the surgical extent of the conversion group was still increasing compared with that of the operating group, and the surgical transfer rate had a clear trend of elevation as well.

Notably, the levels of leukocytes (median, 5.25), hemoglobin (median, 132), platelets (median, 143), and blood albumin (median, 38) in the conversion group of patients compared with those in the operating group all had a decreasing trend.
