Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a bariatric surgical procedure commonly performed in adults to treat severe obesity.

The present study aimed to compare the long-term survival outcomes of hepatic resection (HR) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with single small (≤2 cm) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This retrospective study enrolled patients with a single small HCC measuring 2 cm or smaller underwent HR or RFA as their initial treatment. Overall survival (OS) was significantly higher in the HR group than in the RFA group, while no significant difference was observed in recurrence free survival (RFS) between the two groups.
