What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Laparoscopic liver resectionProcedure or surgery

    Also called Laparoscopic hepatectomy

    participants will be performed with laparoscopic hepatectomy using laparoscopic instruments

  • Open liver resectionProcedure or surgery

    Also called Open hepatectomy

    participants will be performed with open hepatectomy using laparotomic instruments

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Total survival time and disease free survival time

    Measured: up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Surgical margins

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Time to functional recovery

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 6 days

  3. Postoperative hospital stay

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 7 days

  4. Morbidity and mortality

    Measured: up to 3 months

  5. Quality of life

    Measured: up to 1 year

  6. Intraoperative parameters including operation time,pneumoperitoneum time, liver resection time, estimated blood loss,transfusion, as well as number,size and location of the tumor

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of operation, an expected average of 90 min

  7. Regulatory T cells and associated cytokines in peripheral blood

    Regulatory T cells and associated cytokines in peripheral blood will be tested 1day before operation,5 days, 3,6 months and 1,3,5 years after operation

    Measured: up to 5 years

  8. Regulatory T cells and associated cytokines in liver cancer、para-carcinoma and healthy liver tissue

    Measured: 7 days
