Objective:To explore the clinical effect of the method of strengthening the spleen and removing blood stasis on postoperative recurrence and metastasis of hepatice cancer.Methods:164 cases post-hepatectomy patients of hepatic cancer were collected from 1995～1999

and comparison between the groups of strengthening the spleen and removing blood stasis（treatment group） and the group of simple operation（control group） in survival rates and recurrent rate of 1

5 years

Child grading of hepatic function

and changes of indexes related to tumor was carried out.Results:The survival rate of 1

63.41%

51.22% in treatment group

and 80.49%

respectively.The recurrent rate of 1

41.46%

37.80% in treatment group

and 74.39%

58.54%

32.93%

28.05% in control group

respectively.The survival rates of 3

Child grading of hepatic function

and blood ICGR15 in treatment group were significantly superior to those in control group.Conclusion:The method of strengthening the spleen and removing blood stasis can increase long-term survival rate

improve function of residual liver and decrease blood AFU and TSGF levels

but does not have significant effect on short-term survival rate and recurrent rate.
