Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Surgical anatomy

Background:

  • Atypical wedge and single segment resections are the most frequent laparoscopic liver procedures.
  • Lesions on the surface of segments 2-6, ≤2-3 cm, are amenable to resection by surgeons with basic liver anatomy knowledge.
  • Complex laparoscopic liver resections require advanced skills, as shown in existing literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate basic skills for peripheral laparoscopic liver resections.
  • To enable surgeons with fundamental anatomical understanding to safely perform these procedures.
  • To provide a resource for commonly performed laparoscopic liver surgeries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on laparoscopic liver resections.
  • Demonstration of basic skills through two case examples in a single video.
  • Focus on peripheral resections of small, visible lesions in segments 2-6.

Main Results:

  • Atypical wedge or single segment resections are the most common laparoscopic liver procedures.
  • Criteria for safe resection include lesion visibility on the surface of segments 2-6 and size ≤2-3 cm.
  • The presented technique facilitates safe peripheral resections for surgeons with basic laparoscopic equipment and anatomical knowledge.

Conclusions:

  • Peripheral laparoscopic liver resections for specific lesions can be safely performed by surgeons with fundamental anatomical knowledge.
  • The study provides a foundational skill demonstration for common laparoscopic liver procedures.
  • This approach aims to increase the accessibility of safe laparoscopic liver surgery.
