Repeat laparoscopic anatomical liver resection in a hepatocellular carcinoma patient: a case report

Anatomical resection (AR) has been reported to achieve better long-term outcomes than non-anatomical for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The surgical feasibility and oncological significance laparoscopic AR (LAR), especially “subsegment resection”, “cone unit repeat LAR HCC, remain unproven. We present a 67-year-old patient with alcoholic liver cirrhosis HCC who underwent full three times, focusing on technical aspects Glissonean approach. Repeating recurrent could be safe feasible procedure. However, recurred in neighboring segment twice, even though pathological vascular invasion marginal remnants were not confirmed. should investigate advancements subsegmentectomy cone resection, future.
