Implication

Surgical report demonstrates partial liver autotransplantation feasibility in cirrhotic hepatocellular carcinoma, suggesting an operative alternative for complex tumors.

Key Points

To describe and evaluate the feasibility of partial liver autotransplantation for treating hepatocellular carcinoma in the presence of liver cirrhosis.
Performed ex vivo surgical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma following total hepatectomy.
Reimplanted the non-tumorous, remnant cirrhotic liver graft back into the patient via vascular reconstruction.
Achieved successful ex vivo tumor clearance and vascular reconstruction of the cirrhotic liver remnant.
Maintained functional graft perfusion and viability post-reimplantation without immediate operative mortality.
