Excerpt

It is my great honor and privilege to write an Editorial on this special issue of Updates in Surgery focused on “Minimally Invasive Liver Surgery: an up-to-date.” One of the Editors-in-Chief, Professor Fulvio Calise, kindly asked me to contribute to this issue. I know he has dedicated many efforts to promote the diffusion of minimally invasive liver surgery in Italy, including the foundation of the Italian Group of Minimally Invasive Liver Surgery (I Go MILS) with Professor Luca Aldrighetti (I Go MILS–President) and Professor Giulio Belli (I Go MILS—Vice President, It. Chapter IHPBA—President). Both are the Expert panels of the 2nd International Consensus Conference on Laparoscopic Liver Resection (ICCLLR) held on October 4–6, 2014, in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. The ICCLLR in Morioka was held in an effort to better define the current role of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) and to develop internationally accepted guidelines [1]. …
