- NCT04868149RecruitingPhase 3
Laparoscopic versus open ALPPS to regrow liver before surgery
This study compares two ways of doing a staged liver surgery (ALPPS) to help regrow enough liver for people with certain liver cancers. It looks at outcomes and how well the remaining liver grows after surgery, using different surgical approaches.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT04982653RecruitingPhase 2
Stitch type study to prevent hernia after liver surgery
This trial compares two ways of closing the belly incision after open liver surgery to see which best lowers the chance of getting an incisional hernia (a bulge near the scar). It may help by guiding surgeons toward the closure method that prevents hernias better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05339984Recruiting
MRI-based planning during liver surgery and related procedures
This study uses MRI imaging and computer modeling to better plan liver surgery and related liver treatments. It may help doctors predict circulation (blood flow) changes during surgery and choose safer surgical timing or approaches.
Villejuif, Val de MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT05887661Recruiting
Personalized low-volume blood pressure care during laparoscopic liver surgery
This study looks at a customized blood-pressure and fluid strategy to help patients during laparoscopic liver tumor removal. It may help reduce complications related to blood loss and organ stress during surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06178198RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation and liver surgery for large liver tumors
This trial tests combining radiation therapy (radioembolization) with surgery to remove part of the liver for people with a single large liver tumor (over 8 cm) that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this approach can treat the tumor effectively.
Seoul, SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT06205472RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation after liver cancer surgery with narrow margins
This trial tests whether adding a type of radiation (SIB radiotherapy) after liver cancer surgery can improve outcomes for patients whose tumors were removed with very narrow clear margins (less than 1 cm). It may help reduce the chance of cancer coming back in the remaining liver.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06341270Recruiting
Electric acupressure for pain after liver surgery
This trial tests if a gentle electric stimulation on the skin (TEAS) can reduce pain and speed up recovery after liver surgery. The treatment is non-invasive and may be an alternative to pain medicines.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT06366048Recruiting
Liver surgery and risk of liver failure study
This study looks at how the amount of healthy liver tissue removed during surgery affects the risk of liver failure after the operation. It is for people with common types of liver cancer (HCC or ICC) who are having a planned liver resection.
Fujian, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06406244Recruiting
TEAS for chronic pain after liver surgery
This trial tests whether a gentle, needle-free electrical stimulation on certain points on the body (called TEAS) can help reduce chronic pain after liver surgery and improve long-term survival. It may be a good option if you are scheduled for a liver removal and want to explore non-drug pain relief.
ChengduAges 18–80 - NCT06501742Recruiting
Major liver surgery and blood flow control study
This trial looks at how major liver surgery with controlled blood flow (vascular clamping) affects patients. It may help doctors improve outcomes for people who need this type of operation.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06532214Recruiting
Liver surgery recovery study
This study looks at what happens after liver surgery. It will help doctors better understand complications and how to improve recovery for people who had their liver removed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06559761Recruiting
Imaging to predict liver cancer aggressiveness after surgery
This study looks at whether special scans can help doctors better predict how aggressive a person's liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) will be, especially right after surgery. If you are planning to have surgery to remove the tumor as your first treatment, this trial might be a good fit.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07611344RecruitingPhase 4
Remimazolam vs. Propofol for Liver Surgery Recovery
This study compares two sedation medications (Remimazolam and Propofol) used during laparoscopic liver surgery to see which one allows patients to wake up and breathe on their own more quickly after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06681818Recruiting
New method to measure liver regrowth after surgery
This study tests a new way to measure how well your liver grows back and heals after part of it is removed. The goal is to predict and prevent complications after surgery.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06720883Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for bile duct cancer
This study tests whether robot-assisted surgery is safe and effective for people with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (a type of bile duct cancer). It may be a good fit for patients whose cancer has not spread and who are healthy enough for major surgery.
PadovaAges 18 years+ - NCT06778460Recruiting
Esketamine and lidocaine for pain after liver surgery
This trial tests whether two medicines, esketamine and lidocaine, can reduce long-term pain after liver surgery and possibly improve survival. It is for people who are having a planned liver removal (hepatectomy).
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07263217Recruiting
Spirulina for liver protection after bile duct cancer surgery
This trial tests whether spirulina (a type of algae) can help protect the liver and aid recovery after surgery for bile duct cancer. Participants will take spirulina or a placebo before and after a planned liver resection.
HangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT07395635Recruiting
Nutrition supplement study for liver surgery patients
This trial tests whether a special nutrition mix (immunonutrition) helps patients recover better after major liver surgery. You may be eligible if you are having a large liver tumor removed.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–90 - NCT07452848Recruiting
Pringle maneuver's effect on gallbladder after liver surgery
This trial studies whether a technique called the Pringle maneuver (temporarily stopping blood flow to the liver during surgery) affects gallbladder health after liver surgery. It is for people having a liver tumor removed while keeping their gallbladder.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–85 - NCT06647264Enrolling by invitation
Study on computer-aided risk prediction for liver and gallbladder surgery
This study uses a computer program to help doctors predict risks and outcomes for patients having laparoscopic liver or gallbladder surgery. It may help improve how doctors plan and manage your care before, during, and after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06587152Enrolling by invitation
Robotic surgical system trial for chest and belly surgeries
This trial uses a robotic system to assist surgeons during chest and belly surgeries. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for procedures like hernia repair, gallbladder removal, or hysterectomy.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hepatectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 45 recruiting hepatectomy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a hepatectomy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a hepatectomy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
