Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Surgical oncology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic liver resection (LHR) presents advantages over open surgery but adoption has been slow due to technical difficulties and oncologic outcome concerns.
  • Early adoption of LHR was limited by significant technical challenges and uncertainties regarding long-term oncologic results compared to traditional open procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status of laparoscopic liver resection (LHR).
  • To highlight key challenges and advancements in LHR.
  • To emphasize the need for systematic training in laparoscopic liver surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical practice in laparoscopic liver surgery.
  • Analysis of advancements in surgical instrumentation and navigation.

  • Evaluation of oncologic outcomes and technical considerations.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvements in surgical instrumentation and navigation have addressed many technical challenges in LHR.
    • Indications for LHR have expanded, approaching those of open liver resection in expert centers.
    • Recent studies confirm the oncologic safety and efficacy of LHR.

    Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic liver resection (LHR) is a viable, patient-friendly technique with proven oncologic outcomes.
    • Mastering LHR remains technically demanding, necessitating structured training programs.
    • Further development and dissemination of training are essential for broader LHR implementation.
