Title: Impact of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection on postoperative recovery in patients with
hepatocellular carcinoma resection
Version: 5 Date: 10 Jun 2024
Reviewer:  Yoji Kishi
Reviewer's report:
The  authors compared short-term outcomes after hepatectomy for HCC between the  patients
with and without precious history of COVID-19 infection.
The study showed valuable data, but the impact from the aspect of clinical utility was not high.
The series included only a few eldery patiants and most patient with COVID-19 infection seemed
to undergo hepatectomy  after their pulmonary condition fully recovered.  I would like to know
how many patients with COVID-19 showed radiologic evidence of pulmonary disease at the
time of hepatectomy. If there were few such patients, the presented results were not at all novel
and just suggested the safety to perform haptectomy  after the interval of two to three months
in the patients infected with COVID-19.
