Abstract
We present our series of over 30 totally laparoscopic left hepatic lobectomies (hepatic segments II/III) performed only for malignancy. The short- and long-term results support this technique as safe and efficient. This video will illustrate the pertinent issues regarding trocar placement, intrahepatic anatomy, and the technical maneuvers necessary to perform the modified approach using totally laparoscopic techniques.
