Abstract
Over the past 2 decades the minimally invasive liver resections have become preferable in liver tumors surgery in adult patients. Indications for minimally invasive operations in pediatric surgery are actively extending, but the number of such reports remains limited. The slow pace of broad application of laparoscopic hepatectomy in children is explained, first of all, by the limited space in abdominal cavity of children, and lower prevalence of liver tumors in the pediatric population. This review analyzes the evolution of laparoscopic liver resections in adults and possibilities of applying this experience to pediatric hepatic surgery.
