Abstract
AbstractLaparoscopic liver resection was introduced as a surgical technique more than two decades ago. The initial successful laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy was reported in 1996 by Azagra et al., who performed a left-lateral segmentectomy in a patient with a benign adenoma of segments II and III. The technique has grown from a novel procedure to an essential component of the highly specialised hepatobiliary unit armamentarium. Amongst the advantages of laparoscopic liver surgery are: reduced hospital stay, reduced postoperative pain, lowered risk of peritoneal adhesions, better cosmetic outcomes, and much shorter convalescence.
