Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is a natural extension of minimally invasive surgery. The authors of this Review consider the surgical technique used for LLR, as well as the indications for LLR, before evaluating the short-term and long-term outcomes of LLR by comparing the results of case-matched studies of LLR and open resection for both benign and malignant tumors.
