Abstract
In 2009, the most comprehensive review of published series of minimally invasive liver resection (MILR) reported nearly 3,000 cases performed worldwide, emphasizing an exponential growth in the application of this technique by surgeons experienced with both hepatic and laparoscopic surgery [1]. The goal of our survey was to provide an overview of the spread of the minimally invasive approach to liver resections in Italy.
