Laparoscopic liver resection (literature review)

Laparoscopic in comparison to open surgery reduces surgical trauma, the inflammatory response and infectious complications and minimizes immunosuppression. Large sizes of tumors, biliary or vascular reconstruction are the only obstacles to the widespread use of laparoscopic liver resections. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated a significant reduction in postoperative pain, hospital length of stay, postoperative morbidity and recovery times.
