Core Tip
Core Tip: Different approaches to laparoscopic anatomic liver resection have been described. The authors describe an approach using the ventral avascular areas above the inferior vena cava, which requires a skillful laparoscopic surgeon. However, concerns over margin positivity and tumor recurrence remain, and follow up studies are necessary to validate the approach.
