Adjunctive ultrasonography results in similar success rates, total anesthesia-related times, and block-related pain scores for the SCB, ICB, and AXB.

Laparoscopic resection of HCC in cirrhotic liver is feasible and safe in selected patients. Adequate long-term survival and recurrence is achieved compared with open surgery, when stratified for tumour characteristics known to be related to survival outcome.

Laparoscopic management of epiphrenic diverticula seems to be as safe and effective as the traditional approach, although a longer follow-up period is necessary to confirm the study results.

Laparoscopic redo surgery for recurrent HCC in cirrhotic patients is a safe and feasible procedure with good short-term outcomes, but further prospective studies are needed to support these results.
