Abstract
From January 1960 to June 1987, 41 cases underwent reoperation for relapse of liver cancer. Hepatectomy was performed twice in 39 cases, three and four times each in one case. The 1,3 and 5-year survival rates after the first operation were 100%, 69.58% and 54.68% respectively, while those after the second operation were 75.0%, 34.62% and 34.62% respectively. The preliminary results of rehepatectomy are thus encouraging. The indicators for reintervention, types of operation, prophylactic measures against tumor recurrence and metastases, and evaluation of rehapatectomy are discussed.
