Whether open surgery or minimally invasive surgery is better for liver occupancy needs to be chosen according to the specific conditions of different patients and their physical and economic conditions. 1. Traditional open surgery: traumatic; suitable for large liver occupation, or relatively serious condition with infection, local liver tissue atrophy, severe impairment of liver function, etc., which is easy to achieve better therapeutic effect; traditional open surgery for malignant tumors can remove the lesion more clearly and carry out lymph node dissection. 2. Minimally invasive surgery: it is mostly applied to benign liver space-occupying lesions, or malignant tumors whose lesions are suitable for minimally invasive surgery in terms of location and size, usually referred to as laparoscopic surgery, which has the advantages of small incision and scar not easy to be found, small injury and quick recovery, and relatively low risk, and so on. 3. Surgical cost: the price of traditional surgery is generally relatively low, which is easy to be accepted by patients; minimally invasive surgery is relatively high due to the additional charges for equipment such as laparoscopic instruments, which is suitable for minimally invasive operation, and those who have financial conditions should give priority to choosing minimally invasive surgery. Patients with hepatic space-occupying lesions should consult a doctor in a timely manner to clarify the nature of the lesion and choose the appropriate surgical method according to the doctor’s recommendation in order to achieve the best therapeutic effect.
