Abstract
The most common primary malignant liver tumor is hepatocellular carcinoma.it commonly
occurs in cirrhotic liver caused by viral infection. There are different management options
depending on the tumor burden, performance status of the patient and status of background liver.
Liver resection is one of them, with a cure intent intervention, which is the only option we have
in Ethiopia. The morbidity and mortality associated with liver resection is decreasing with advent
in surgical techniques and improved post-operative care in developed nations.in Ethiopia hepatic
resection has been done for decade but its outcome never been studied before. This research will
be the first to assess hepatic resection outcome for HCC and serve as a mirror to see the outcome
of our surgical practice and compare our stance in the realm of hepatic resection and HCC care
