Early versus Delayed Hepatectomy for Spontaneously Ruptured Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

CONCLUSION: For resectable spontaneously ruptured HCC, DH could reduce intraoperative bleeding, intraoperative blood transfusion volume, and 30-day mortality rate and increase the 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates, endowing the patients with greater short- and long-term benefits during and following the surgery.
