Article Abstract
The application of laparoscopy for liver surgery is rapidly increasing and the past few years have demonstrated a shift in paradigm with a trend towards more extended and complex resections. The development of instruments and technical refinements with the effective use of magnified caudal laparoscopic views have contributed to the ability to overcome the limitation of laparoscopic liver resection. The Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgeons of Asia (ELSA) Visionary Summit 2017 and the 3 Expert Forum of Asia-Pacific Laparoscopic Hepatectomy organized hepatobiliary pancreatic sessions in order to exchange surgical tips and tricks and discuss the current status and future perspectives of laparoscopic hepatectomy. This report summarizes the oral presentations given at the 3 Expert Forum of Asia-Pacific Laparoscopic Hepatectomy.

Cone Unit-Based Anatomical Liver Resection Guided by Preoperative Embolization and ICG Fluorescence: A Novel Surgical Strategy.
Ann Surg Oncol

Carle Illinois College of Medicine University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, 509 W University Ave, Urbana, IL, 61801, USA.
Background: The liver cone unit (Tokyo 2020 terminology) of the peripheral portal vein territory represents the smallest anatomical and functional unit of the liver. While this unit enables anatomical, subsegmental resection, particularly in patients with cirrhosis, the tumor-bearing cone unit can be challenging to identify intraoperatively. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 58-year-old man with hepatitis C-related cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B) was diagnosed with a subcapsular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in segment 8.

Introduction: Surgery for resectable gallbladder cancer (GbC) encompasses complex operative management, and evaluating surgical quality through textbook outcome (TO) is crucial. This study aimed to assess TO incidence and impact in a global cohort, identify independent predictors, and evaluate TO rates of minimally invasive (MI) techniques, including robotic (ROB) and laparoscopic (LPS).
Materials And Methods: This cohort study included patients undergoing curative-intent hepatectomy and lymphadenectomy for GbC (T1b-T3) from 2012 to 2023 in 41 hospitals.
[500 minimally invasive liver resections-Experiences, results and technical developments of a high-volume center].
Chirurgie (Heidelb)

Chirurgische Klinik der Universitätsmedizin Mannheim, Medizinische Fakultät Mannheim der Universität Heidelberg, Mannheim, Theodor-Kutzer-Ufer 1-3, 68167, Mannheim, Deutschland.
Background: Minimally invasive liver surgery has rapidly evolved in recent years. In addition to the laparoscopic liver resection (LLR), robot-assisted liver resection (RLR) is increasingly gaining in importance; however, although the robotic-assisted approach offers clinical benefits, particularly in complex procedures, it remains a matter of debate.
Objective: The aim of this study was to present the development, perioperative outcomes, key challenges, and insights from over 500 minimally invasive liver resections performed at a specialized high-volume center.
Standardized Approach for Laparoscopic Hemispheric Liver Resection for Segments 7 and 8.
DEN Open
April 2026
Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Ibaraki Medical Center Tokyo Medical University Ibaraki Japan.
Background: We investigated whether the standardized "can-opener method" surgical technique is an adequate surgical procedure for hemispheric hepatectomy in segments 7 and 8.
Methods: Forty-two patients who underwent laparoscopic hemispheric liver resection for segments 7 and 8 using our standardized surgical technique were enrolled. To examine the effect of this standardized surgical procedure on short-term outcomes, patients were classified into two groups based on the timing of the standardization of their procedures (Group A, the first half of the cases, and Group B, the second half of the cases).
Impact of thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy on partial hepatectomy and Hassab's operation in patients with cirrhosis: a multicenter retrospective cohort study.
Ann Med
December 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong, China.
Background: Thrombocytopenia (TCP) and coagulation disorders are common complications for patients with liver cirrhosis. The impact of severe TCP [30 × 10/L < platelets (PLT) ≤ 50 × 10/L] and coagulation disorder on bleeding risk after Hassab's operation or partial hepatectomy (PH) for cirrhotic patients is unclear.
Method: Our study retrospectively enrolled 724 cirrhotic patients from July 2019 to August 2024, including 189 patients who underwent Hassab's operation and 535 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent PH without prophylactic platelet transfusions or thrombopoietin receptor agonists.
