Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) offers patient benefits like reduced blood loss and pain, with outcomes comparable to open surgery. This minimally invasive approach is suitable for various liver conditions, including cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Over 3,000 laparoscopic liver resections (LLR) are performed globally for benign diseases, malignancies, and living donor hepatectomy.
  • Minimally invasive hepatic resection encompasses pure laparoscopic, hand-assisted laparoscopic, and hybrid approaches.
  • Successful LLR requires advanced hepatic anatomy knowledge, open surgery experience, and laparoscopic control of vascular and biliary structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the indications, techniques, and outcomes of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR).
  • To highlight patient benefits and compare LLR with traditional open liver resection.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on laparoscopic liver resections.
  • Discussion of patient selection criteria, including lesion size and location.

  • Analysis of different LLR approaches: pure laparoscopic, hand-assisted, and hybrid.

    • Main Results:

    • LLR is most suitable for smaller, peripheral lesions (<5 cm) away from major vessels.
    • Laparoscopic major hepatic resections are increasingly performed with excellent safety.
    • LLR offers reduced operative blood loss, postoperative pain, and shorter hospital stays compared to open resection.
    • Postoperative morbidity and mortality rates are comparable between LLR and open liver resection.
    • Resection margins and overall survival for malignant lesions show no significant difference between LLR and open surgery.
    • LLR for hepatocellular cancer (HCC) may reduce postoperative hepatic insufficiency and adhesions, benefiting potential liver transplantation.

    Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic liver resection provides significant patient advantages with comparable oncologic and safety outcomes to open surgery.
    • LLR is a viable and beneficial minimally invasive option for a growing range of liver conditions.
    • The technique is particularly advantageous for hepatocellular cancer, potentially improving outcomes for subsequent liver transplantation.
