Segment III hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and major liver cirrhosis: laparoscopic resection

Laparoscopy for liver resection is a highly specialized surgical field because liver surgery presents severe technical difficulties, such as control of bleeding and risk of gas embolism. This video presents the case of a 60-year-old patient presenting with significant liver cirrhosis. During follow-up, a 3cm HCC located in the left liver was diagnosed. CT-scan was reconstructed in order to precisely define the landmarks regarding position of the tumor to the vessels. A laparoscopic approach was decided upon. As expected, a major liver cirrhosis is diagnosed. A parenchyma preserving hepatectomy is performed.

Laparoscopic resection of liver segments V and VIII for colorectal metastasis

Laparoscopic liver resection in selected patients in highly specialized centers provides comparable oncological results to treatment with open liver resection for patients with colorectal liver metastases. In this video, we present the case of a patient who underwent the resection of two liver segments in the context of a colorectal pathology. Initially, this lesion was estimated as sitting in the liver’s segment IV, but using a specific software dedicated to reconstructions of CT-scan data, it was discovered that this lesion was situated across segment V and segment VIII. This reconstruction allows to obtain a perfect visualization of the different relationships between the vessels and also allows to guide the procedure and to simulate the operative maneuver.

Laparoscopic hepatectomy for a left 8cm hepatocellular carcinoma after embolization for bleeding

This is the case of a patient presenting with a hepatocellular carcinoma, referred to the emergency department because of a hemorrhage. The first step consisted in an arterial embolization. The patient recovers from the embolization and two months later, a left lateral segmentectomy is decided upon. The tumor measures 8cm and is located in segment II and III of the liver. The procedure is performed laparoscopically, away from the digestive bleeding.
