Indirect signs of portal hypertension (pht) don’t raise complications risk in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing liver resection (LR). However, in patients with hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) ≥10 mmHg, LR significantly increases overall morbidity and liver-related complications risk. Transjugular HVPG assessment is crucial for LR decisions, with a minimally invasive approach showing favorable outcomes, especially in HVPG ≥10 mmHg patients. Despite elevated risks, LR results in a 5-year overall survival rate of 55.2%.
