摘　　要：The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is increasing year by year.The International Agency for Research on Cancer(IARC)reported that more than 630,000 people were diagnosed with HCC in 2020 and more than half of new cases of HCC were in China.The increasing number of patients overburdens the medical system and the waiting time before the surgery becomes longer and longer.This poses a new challenge to the applicability of traditional surgical management model.The elective surgery performed on weekend could provide an efficient solution to the problem.However,the safety of weekend surgery is controversial because surgical patients have a higher severe complication incidence and postoperative mortality on the weekend compared to the weekday(ie,weekend effect).
