We present the first case of laparoscopic left lateral segmentectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a patient with hemophilia A, acquired hepatitis C, and high-titer factor VIII inhibitor, which was confirmed by preoperative diagnosis. He underwent laparoscopic left lateral segmentectomy with the administration of recombinant activated factor VII. Surgery could be performed with reduced intraoperative hemorrhage. He experienced postoperative intra-abdominal wall hemorrhage, which was successfully managed with red cell concentrates transfusion and administration of recombinant activated factor VII. Laparoscopic hepatectomy can be applied for hemophilia patients with high titer inhibitors.
