This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a virtual reality (VR) education program on anxiety and knowledge in HCC patients undergoing hepatic resection.  \nMethod: From 1 January 2022 to 28 February 2023, 88 patients were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial, divided into the VR group (n = 44) and the control group (n = 44) . The VR group received patient-specific 3D liver model education through aVR platform, while the control group underwent conventional explanation processes. Both groups completed preintervention and postintervention questionnaires assessing anxiety (using STAI-X-1, STAI-X-2, and VAS) and knowledge about liver resection. Comparison of the questionnaires were performed between the two groups. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to analyze factor related to decrease in anxiety.  \nResult: While there was no significant difference in preintervention anxiety and knowledge scores between the two groups, the VR group exhibited significant reduction in STAI-X-1 scores (− 4.14 ± 7.5) compared to the control group (− 0.84 ± 5.7, P = 0.023), as well as knowledge scores (17 .20 ± 2.6) compared to the control group (13 .42 ± 3.3, P \u003C 0.001) . In the multivariable logistic regression model, VR education showed significant impact on decrease in STAI-X-1 score, postintervention. (OR = 2.902, CI = 1.097–7.674, P = 0.032)  \nConclusion: The VR education program significantly improved knowledge and reduced anxiety among HCC patients compared to conventional methods. This study suggests that VR can be a valuable tool in patient education, enhancing comprehension and alleviating presurgical anxiety.  \nKeywords: hepatocellular carcinoma, patient education, virtual reality  \nIntroduction  \nHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major health problem with high incidence and mortality rates. Patients without cirrhosis who are diagnosed with HCC are usually treated with hepatic resection as the preferred treatment option[1] . Recently, surgery has shifted towards focusing on patient participation, rather than  \nsolely relying on the surgeon’s perspective[2] . Thus, communication between surgeons and patients is crucial for achieving optimal surgical outcomes[2] . However, studies have shown that patients often have difficulty understanding and retaining the information provided to them during consultations[2,3] . Especially, the complexity of anatomy of the liver makes it challenging to effectively communicate radiologic examination  \naDepartment of Surgery, bCenter for Clinical Epidemiology, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, cDepartment of Surgery, Gil  \nMedical Center, Gachon University College of Medicine, Incheon and dVRAD Inc., Hanam, Korea Jinsoo Rhu and Danbee Kang contributed equally as co-corresponding authors.  \nSponsorships or competing interests that may be relevant to content are disclosed at the end of this article.  \n*Corresponding authors.
