Summary
Single-incision laparoscopic liver resection (SILLR) shows promise for minimally invasive surgery. While feasible and safe for specific liver resections, standardization is needed for wider adoption.
Area of Science:
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Hepatobiliary Surgery
Background:
- Reduced port surgery is gaining traction in minimally invasive surgery.
- Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) adoption is hindered by technical challenges in liver resection.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the evolution and current status of single-incision laparoscopic liver resection (SILLR).
- To assess the feasibility, safety, and limitations of SILLR.
Main Methods:
- Review of existing literature on SILLR, including case reports, series, and cohort studies.
- Analysis of reported applications, outcomes, and challenges of SILLR.
Main Results:
- SILLR is evolving from conventional laparoscopic liver resection, driven by advances in surgical techniques and devices.
- Current SILLR applications are limited to well-localized lesions and specific liver segments, primarily for partial resections.
- Feasibility and safety of SILLR have been established in limited settings.
Conclusions:
- SILLR represents a less invasive approach to laparoscopic liver resection.
- Further standardization and research are required to expand the application of SILLR in liver surgery.
