About 20%-30% of newly diagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients are surgically feasible due to a variety of reasons. Active conversion therapy may provide opportunities of surgery for these patients. Nevertheless, the choice of surgical procedure is controversial after successful conversion therapy. We report a patient with HCC who underwent successful laparoscopic right trisectionectomy after conversion therapy with portal vein embolization and transarterial chemoembolization.
