Abstract
In the past two decades there has been an enormous increase in laparoscopic liver surgery. There is a trend from limited to laparoscopic major resections and more centres are adopting laparoscopic liver surgery as a standard of care. Although no randomized clinical trials are published, different reports on minor and major hepatectomies and meta-analyses suggest (at least) equal outcomes and cost-effectiveness compared to open procedures.
