Core Tip
Core Tip: West China Hospital of Sichuan University is the biggest and most advanced one in the western region of China. About 1500-2500 cases of liver resection have been performed in our center every year. Since the first laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) was performed in 2015, we have accumulated more than 1000 cases rapidly, including hemi-hepatectomy, mesohepatectomy, anatomical segmentectomy from segment I to VIII and even the first case of laparoscopic donor hepatectomy in Mainland China. In this study, we want to share our experiences and introduce technical innovation of LLR.
