Abstract

Liver lesions subject to laparoscopic resection are one of the frontiers conquered in surgery today. Even when dealing with surgery, which is often complex, the increase in demand from patients has increased, bringing more and more learning and dexterity to surgery teams with the increasing development of technology. To analytically evaluate the method, based on the most recent publications in the literature, with possible indications and reporting a recently successfully operated case, highlighting the safety, results and fundamental technical aspects. The relevant works from the last 15 years were identified and analyzed in the LILACS and PUBMED databases until August 2023, using the descriptors “ liver resection ”, “ laparoscopic surgery ” and “ liver surgery ”. We don't We found prospective and double-blind studies in the databases, with available data coming from case series, case-control studies and some multicenter studies and meta-analyses. Laparoscopic hepatectomy is a safe surgery and is very standardized in execution, even for major liver resections, with a low morbidity and mortality rate. As an oncological surgical method, it is gaining more and more space without compromising oncological radicality and with advantages for patients. with specific liver diseases. Benign lesions are the best indicated and performed, especially adenoma and cystic lesions, which in the hands of experienced teams have very good results and videolaparoscopic surgery can be considered today as standard treatment.
