Abstract

In experienced hands and with appropriate case selection, laparoscopic liver resection has proven to be a safe procedure with the added benefit of minimal‐assess surgery. Successful laparoscopic liver resection, from wedge resection to formal lobectomy, had been reported for both benign and malignant disease of the liver. We present a young female with a solitary hepatocellular carcinoma in the left lateral segment in whom we successfully performed laparoscopic segmentectomy with the aid of a laparoscopic ultrasonic surgical aspirator, Harmonic Scalpel and laparoscopic ultrasound. She was discharged home on day 5. There was no complication.
