Figure 1: Distribution of hepatectomy. LH, laparoscopic hepatectomy; OH, open hepatectomy
Figure 2: Distribution of hepatectomy of favorable location by year. F-OH, open hepatectomy in the favorable location group; F-LH, laparoscopic hepatectomy in the favorable location group.
Figure 3: Kaplan–Meier curve of the overall survival and disease-free survival in the LH, OH, F-LH, and F-OH groups. (A) The 12-, 36-, and 60-month overall survival rates, respectively, were 88.5%, 82.9%, and 71.8% in the LH group and 83.7%, 74.3%, and 67.6% in the OH group. Log-rank test, p = 0.257. (B) The 12-, 36-, and 60-month disease-free survival rates, respectively, were 77.2%, 53.3%, and 48.3% in the LH group and 71.5%, 52.8%, and 39.7% in the OH group. Log-rank test, p = 0.509. (C) The 12-, 36-, and 60-month overall survival rates, respectively, were 90.7%, 88.1%, and 75.4% in the F-LH group and 79.5%, 76.6%, and 70.4% in the F-OH group. Log-rank test, p = 0.184. (D) The 12-, 36-, and 60-month disease-free survival rates, respectively, were 79.2%, 52.9%, and 49.1% in the F-LH group and 73.9%, 54.7%, and 39.5% in the F-OH group. Log-rank test, p = 0.683. LH, laparoscopic hepatectomy; OH, open hepatectomy; F-OH, open hepatectomy in the favorable location group; F-LH, laparoscopic hepatectomy in the favorable location group.
