Open versus laparoscopic ablation of liver malignancies – a protocol for a randomised clinical trial

Puntos clave

• Laparoscopic ablation is expected to improve recovery times compared to open procedures, leading to better patient outcomes.
• The primary endpoint is the difference in recovery times over a specified follow-up period after treatment.
• Randomised controlled trial protocol compares outcomes between two surgical techniques for liver malignancies.
• If successful, this trial may reshape surgical approaches for treating liver cancer in clinical settings.
