AB  - The  safety  of  liver  surgery  made  great  strides  in  the  last  half  of  the  twentieth  century  thanks  to  an  improvement  in  the  knowledge  of  hepatic  anatomy,  perioperative  care,  and  preoperative  imaging  techniques.1  Combined  with  increased  operative  experience  and  technological  advancements,  minimally  invasive  surgery  (MIS)  of  the  liver  has  been  shown  to  be  safe  and  feasible  with  over  3000  cases  done  worldwide.1-4  Laparoscopic  hepatic  surgery  was  first  reported  in  the  early  1990s,  and  since  that  time  the  literature  in  this  field  has  expanded  in  an  exponential  fashion.2  The  acceptance  of  MIS  hepatic  resections  has  progressed  to  the  point  where  it  is  the  recommended  approach  for  certain  hepatic  resections5  and  as  our  experience  broadens,  as  do  the  potential  indications.  Increasingly  complex  procedures  are  being  safely  performed  and  achieving  excellent  results  with  less  morbidity.  In  the  present  chapter,  we  provide  an  overview  of  laparoscopic  liver  resection  including  some  technical  aspects,  and  outcomes  of  minimally  invasive  hepatic  resection  for  cancer.
