Abstract
Laparoscopic liver surgery (LLS) has become increasingly common [1, 2]. A recent international position paper maintains that LLS is a safe and effective approach to the management of surgical liver disease in selected patients in the hands of trained surgeons [3]. However, most procedures are limited resections, and only 9% of nearly 3,000 cases reported in the international literature are right hepatectomies [4], as it remains a challenging procedure.
