BACKGROUND: Right hepatectomy (RH) instead of right posterior sectionectomy (RPS) is commonly performed for @entity157 ( @entity157 ) in cirrhotic livers located lateral to the right hepatic vein in order to ensure adequate resection margin. This potentially increased the risk of @entity1578 . This study aims to compare survival outcomes and surgical morbidities between RH and RPS. METHODS: All @entity1 between 2003 and 2013 with resection for solitary @entity157 in cirrhotic livers at segment 6/7 were reviewed. Baseline demographics, liver function, perioperative outcomes, and overall ( @entity3012 ) and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared between RH and RPS. RESULTS: Eighty-one @entity1 were included in this study. Thirty-two @entity1 had RH and forty-nine with RPS were selected as controls. Majority of the @entity157 @entity1 (91.4  %) suffered from @entity6194 . There was no significant difference in age, gender and @entity1 -Pugh grade between the two groups. The median @entity5 size of RH group was 6 vs. 4  cm in the RPS group (p  <  0.0001). Both groups had no statistical difference in resection margin and their associated morbidities. The 5-year @entity3012 for RH and RPS was 76 and 83.8  %, respectively (p  =  0.766), whereas their corresponding DFS was 52.6 and 52.2  % (p  =  0.859). Despite the discrepancy of @entity5 size among the two groups, there was no statistical difference in subgroup analysis based on their corresponding stage of disease. CONCLUSION: RPS can achieve similar @entity3012 and DFS as RH for @entity157 , and should be considered as the treatment of choice in order to optimise the postoperative remnant parenchymal liver functions.
