Laparoscopic liver resection of benign liver tumors

Abstract: Laparoscopic resection of benign liver tumors is feasible and safe for selected patients with small tumors located in the left lateral segments or in the anterior segments of the right liver. Despite the use of a laparoscopic approach, selective indications for resection of benign liver tumors should remain unchanged. When performed by expert liver and laparoscopic surgeons in selected patients and tumors, laparoscopic resection of benign liver tumor is a promising technique.

“…performed LLR for the first time as a method for partial resection of benign tumors 1. After its dissemination, LLR has since been performed proactively for benign tumors with favorable outcomes 2, 71. It is often difficult to differentiate HCC from hepatocellular adenoma or focal nodular hyperplasia72, 73 and needle biopsy has this suggests that there is a risk of implantation in cases of malignant tumor 74.…”
