Objective To discuss the prognosis of primary liver carcinoma treated with local resection and factors affecting prognosis.Methods The data of 130 patients who had been treated from October 1989 to October 1995 were analyzed retrospectively.We analyzed the concrete operating methods,the cause of postoperative complications and factores affecting prognosis.Results Curative local resection was performed in 130 patients.Operation-related mortality was 0.8% and the incidence of complication was 16.1%(n=18).The overall 1-,3-and 5-year survival rates were 82.1%,60,6% and 48.2%,respectively.Involvement of blood vessels or liver capsules and the elevation of AST before operation were the significant factors affecting prognosis(P<0.05).Conclusion Local resection is a safe method characterized by little damage,rapid,less blood loss,low complication rate and good prognosis.
