  Background: Surgical Hepatic resection has been considered as the first-line treatment which is most effective and radical treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic liver. However, hepatic resection, in the presence of cirrhosis is associated with high risk of hemorrhage; thus, good clinical results can only be achieved by minimizing operative blood loss. The tremendous progress in microwave technology has recently attracted considerable attention. Here we describe the treatment outcomes achieved at our institution for intraoperative use of the microwave tissue precoagulation in hepatic resection as part of our strategy for the treatment of HCC. Methods: Twenty-six selected patients received elective hepatic resections using intraoperative microwave tissue precoagulation as their initial therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma in cirr..
