Laparoscopic hepatectomy in special liver segments / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Laparoscopic hepatectomy has been gradually accepted by liver surgeons because of its advantages such as minimal invasive approach. However, laparoscopic hepatectomy in special liver segments ( Ⅰ, Ⅳa, Ⅶ, Ⅷ) isn't carried out due to difficult technology and high risk. In this paper, the operative strategies and key points of laparoscopic hepatectomy were discussed in special liver segments based on relevant literature and our own experience.
