Minimalinvasive Chirurgie primärer und sekundärer Lebertumoren.
Minimally invasive surgery of primary and secondary liver tumors : Indications, techniques and results
Chirurg 85, 689-695 (2014)
BACKGROUND: Initially, mainly superficial liver lesions were resected laparoscopically but now even major resections are performed using a minimally invasive procedure. Careful selection of suitable patients is of key importance. AIMS AND METHODS: This article describes the current state of the art in patient selection and choice of the appropriate laparoscopic technique based on a review of the recent literature. Perioperative and oncological outcome parameters of laparoscopic liver resection are presented. RESULTS: Laparoscopic liver resection offers significant benefits compared to open liver resection in terms of reduced intraoperative blood loss, reduced overall and liver-specific complications and length of hospital stay without compromising oncological outcomes. CONCLUSION: Lesions in the peripheral anterolateral segments (segments 2, 3, 4b, 5 and 6) are particularly suitable for laparoscopic liver resection. Access to the posterosuperior segments 1, 4a, 7 and 8 is more challenging but safe and feasible in experienced centers.
