Hepatic resection versus operative microwave ablation for single hepatocellular carcinoma ≤5 cm: A propensity score-matched analysis

Little evidence exists regarding the perioperative and oncologic benefits of microwave ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of hepatic resection and operative microwave ablation (microwave coagulo-necrotic therapy) for single hepatocellular carcinoma ≤5 cm.
