“…In 2009, a multicenter international study by Dagher et al [10] of 210 major liver resections using laparoscopy, demonstrated that laparoscopic major hepatectomies are feasible in selected patients, when performed by experienced surgeons. It has also been demonstrated that, when laparoscopy is employed for major resections, there is a benefit in terms of blood loss, general morbidity and length of hospital stay [6]. However, it is evident that major resections represent a rather small percentage of all laparoscopic hepatectomies, remain challenging and demand both laparoscopic and hepatic surgery expertise.…”

“…This sudden proliferation concerns mainly minor hepatectomies (resection of less than 3 segments), and, until recently, only sporadic reports of major laparoscopic liver resections existed [3,4,6,9,[12][13][14]. In 2009, a multicenter international study by Dagher et al [10] of 210 major liver resections using laparoscopy, demonstrated that laparoscopic major hepatectomies are feasible in selected patients, when performed by experienced surgeons.…”

“…The clinical application of laparoscopic right hepatectomy (LRH) is also on the increase (Dagher et al, 2009;Han et al, 2010;Lainas et al, 2015). However, LRH still remains a challenging procedure owing to the technical difficulty (Pearce et al, 2011;Tzanis et al, 2013) of resecting the deepest and largest portion of the liver.…”
