Abstract

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a non-cirrhotic liver is relatively uncommon, accounting for approximately 10–20% of cases. While primary resection is the standard of care, metachronous recurrence presents a significant surgical challenge due to dense adhesions and altered anatomy from previous major hepatic surgery.
