Summary

This study looks at 140 people having liver tumor surgery to see if a different way of closing the surgical cut (short stitches) can prevent painful abdominal hernias better than the usual method. Participants will be checked with scans at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. The goal is to find a simple change that lowers the chance of needing another operation later.
