Description: .In cirrhotic patients with HCC, total hepatectomy with ohotopic liver transplantation is required. Now it is found that even resection candidates will do better by transplantation than resection. But waiting period for transplantation is long. To bridge this waiting period for transplantation radiofrequency ablation, transaerial embolization, ethanol/acetic acid injections are used. Liver transplantation is the good surgical option for hepatocellular carcinoma. Liver transplantation may be beneficial for ascites in liver diseases. Ref: SRB&;s manual of surgery,3 rd ed, pg no 557
