Laparoscopic liver resection is a safe and effective surgical option for both benign and malignant liver conditions. This minimally invasive approach demonstrates favorable outcomes in a tertiary care setting.

Area of Science:

Minimally invasive surgery
Hepatobiliary surgery
Surgical oncology

Background:

Minimally invasive surgical techniques have advanced significantly over the past 25 years.
Laparoscopic surgery has become increasingly integral to the field of liver surgery.
Tertiary care centers are adopting these advanced techniques for liver resections.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic liver resection.
To assess the benefits and outcomes of this minimally invasive approach.
To report results from a single tertiary care center's experience.

Main Methods:

Retrospective review of medical records for liver surgery patients (January 2005 - December 2016).
Selection of patients who underwent laparoscopic liver resection.

Data analysis included conversion rates, operative time, complications, hospital stay, and surgical margins.

Main Results:

73 out of 274 liver operations (27%) were performed laparoscopically.
The median operative time was 112 minutes with a 19% conversion rate, primarily due to bleeding.
Postoperative complications occurred in 22% of patients, with a median hospital stay of 7.1 days.

Conclusions:

Laparoscopic liver surgery is a safe and effective treatment option.
This approach is suitable for both benign and malignant liver lesions.
The study confirms the benefits of minimally invasive techniques in liver surgery.
