Unplanned conversion during laparoscopic liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma is associated with higher blood loss, transfusion rate, hospital stay, and postoperative complications. However, the 5-year overall survival rate was similar in patients who underwent unplanned conversion and those who underwent laparoscopic liver resection.

Liver transplantation gave better 5-year survival than liver resection in combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma, including tumors within UCSF criteria.
A close-to-open cutting method was used for robotic liver resection, with no bile leaks and shorter hospital stays than after laparoscopy.
Robotic liver resection using a close-to-open forceps technique was associated with no bile leakage and a shorter hospital stay than laparoscopic resection, even though more complex resections were performed in the robotic group.
