Main Messages• Acute and chronic mesenteric ischaemia are morbid conditions challenging to diagnose.• MDCT is the first-line imaging test for evaluating patients with suspected mesenteric ischaemia.• Bowel findings include wall thickening, abnormal enhancement, pneumatosis and luminal dilation.• Vascular occlusion, portomesenteric venous gas, mesenteric congestion and free air can be seen.

LLR confers the widely-accepted benefits of laparoscopic surgery, namely severity of complication, 30-day readmission rate, LOS and blood loss. Further studies are required to examine intra- and extra-hepatic recurrence after LLR. LLR for HCC should be considered for appropriately selected patients in centres with requisite volume and expertise.
