About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery(ERAS) After Liver Resection for Primary Liver Cancer: a Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate Enhanced Recovery After Surgery(ERAS) protocol versus conventional treatment on patients who underwent liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).

Read the detailed description

212 patients are randomly recruited from inpatients of Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital, Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital, RenJi Hospital, Anhui Provincial Hospital, Subei People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province and Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Nantong University from February 2016 to July 2016. Randomly assigned about half of the patients to receive Enhanced Recovery After Surgery(ERAS) protocol and the other half to receive conventional treatment. Evaluate the safety and efficacy of the ERAS protocol.
