Laparoscopic surgery is most advanced surgical technique available for the treatment of patients. Laparoscopic surgery provides advantages over open surgery for the liver since the chevron incision is completely avoided and the surgery is performed through tiny incisions. As a consequence the duration of stay in hospital, the amount and duration of postoperative discomfort, and the length of recovery is much shorter after the laparoscopic procedure compared to open surgery. Now day’s many laparoscopic procedures have been developed for liver resection. These procedures avoid the large chevron incision used in open liver surgery. Laparoscopic liver resection allows patients to go home earlier and recover quicker compared to open procedures. The liver resection procedures available are laparoscopic wedge resection of the liver and laparoscopic left lateral segmentectomy. The left lobe of the liver has two components: a medial segment and a left lateral segment. The left lateral segment of the liver is often involved with metastatic disease and may require removal. In some patients the tumors may be confined only to the left lateral segment. Under these circumstances removal of the left lateral segment may provide an opportunity for cure. The left lateral segment traditionally is removed through a large chevron opening. We offer a laparoscopic approach to removal of the left lateral segment. During this procedure small incisions are made for a video chip camera and laparoscopic instruments. In addition to that we make a two-inch incision to place a new laparoscopic device called the hand port. The placement of a laparotomy hand-access device allows insertion of the surgeons’ hand into the abdomen for retraction and dissection of the liver from its surrounding attachments. With the treatment at best surgery hospital the disorder can be removed from roots.
