Slow and steady, from left lateral sectionectomy and minor anterolateral resections, more complex clinical scenarios have been accomplished, including cirrhotic patients, major hepatectomies, posterosuperior locations, and complex anatomical and extended resections. Most of surgical procedures have been successfully performed using the MI approach; however, although meritorious, most of them have been performed according to the same principles and concepts traditionally followed in open surgery. …
