BACKGROUNDS/AIMS: @entity409 , the most common @entity96 , can be safely managed by clinical observation. However, surgical treatment should be considered in a subset of @entity1 with @entity2695 with @entity1109 . We reviewed the feasibility of total laparoscopic liver resection for @entity2695 of >6 cm in diameter. METHODS: Nine consecutive @entity1 who underwent total laparoscopic liver resection for @entity2695 between August 2008 to December 2012 were included in this study. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed for demographic data, laboratory findings, and perioperative results. RESULTS: The median age of @entity1 was 36 yrs (range, 31-63). Eight females and 1 male were included in the study. The median size of @entity2695 was 11 cm in diameter (range, 6-18) and 5 @entity1 had a @entity2695 >10 cm. Indications for surgical treatments were @entity1109 in 4 @entity1 , increased size in 5 @entity1 , and uncertain diagnosis in 1 @entity1 . The median operation time was 522 minutes for right hepatectomy, 220 minutes for left lateral sectionectomy, and 90 minutes for wedge resection. The median estimated @entity190 was 400 ml (range, 50-900). There was no postoperative morbidity, including Clanvien-Dindo grade I. CONCLUSIONS: The resection of @entity2695 demands meticulous surgical technique due to high vascularity and the concomitant risk of @entity548 . Laparoscopic liver resection is feasible with minimal operative complication. Therefore, laparoscopic liver resection can be considered as an option for surgical treatment for @entity2695 .
