Minimally invasive vs traditional liver resection in managing small hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract
Background Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) has been progressively developed along the past two decades. Surgical technique and equipment have been evolved to overcome technical limitations, making LLR safe and feasible. Surgeons develop skills in a stepwise approach, beginning with low complexity operations for benign diseases and reaching high-complexity surgeries for malignant cases and livin...
