Abstract
The caudate lobe (Couinaud's segment 1) is located at the posterior part of the liver. Isolated resection of caudate lobe is a major challenge1,2 especially when it is carried out laparoscopically. We report a case of successful total laparoscopic resection of caudate lobe using the technique of curettage and aspiration3 on a hepatic hemangioma which measured 7 cm ×5 cm. As far as we know, this is the first report from Asia on isolated laparoscopic resection of the hepatic caudate lobe.
