Surgical methods for small liver cancer include liver transplantation and partial hepatectomy methods as well as ablation treatment, which need to be chosen according to different conditions of patients themselves. 1. Liver transplantation: liver cancer patients with tumor cells ≤5 cm or multiple tumor nodules ≤3, as well as patients with advanced stage, can choose liver transplantation, which can also reduce the recurrence rate. 2. Partial hepatectomy: usually for early-stage patients with normal liver function, partial hepatectomy can be performed to remove the liver tumor as completely as possible and retain sufficient volume of liver tissue with physiological function. 3. Ablation therapy: usually for liver cancer that does not meet the indications of surgery or liver cancer that has metastasized, ablation therapy can be chosen. The choice of surgery for small liver cancer should be made after perfect examination by professional doctors, and suitable surgery should be chosen according to one’s own situation.
