Laparoscopic versus open liver resections of posterolateral liver segments - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract: Introduction: Laparoscopic resection has become an accepted approach to liver tumour surgery. However, it is considered difficult, especially in unfavourably located lesions. Aim: To compare the outcomes of laparoscopic (LLR) and open liver resection (OLR) of posterolateral segments. Material and methods: We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus databases from inception to 30 September 2019. Full text articles and conference abstracts were included for further analysis. This review follows the PRISMA guideli… Show more

“…Despite its higher procedure cost when compared to open liver surgery, because of the lower rate of postoperative complications and shorter hospitalization time in LLS, total costs are similar in both types of procedures [ 81 , 82 ]. LLS results in reduced blood loss and transfusion rate, as well as in lower morbidity and shorter hospital stay [ 83 , 84 ].…”

“…In addition, the heterogeneity between studies is high, making it difficult to generalize their clinical value. In addition, longer surgical times may have little impact on clinical outcomes [25].…”

“…At present, surgery is one of the best choices to treat LD [ 26 ]. However, due to the complex anatomical structure and many anatomical variations of the liver vasculature, it is difficult to obtain visual information and diagrams of the fine liver anatomy [ 27 ], especially in laparoscopic special segmental hepatectomy [ 28 ]. Therefore, obtaining accurate anatomical images of the liver prior to surgery for the accurate resection of liver lesions has become a hot topic of current research.…”
