Abstract

Single incision laparoscopic liver resection (SILLR) is the most recent development in the laparoscopic approach to the liver. SILLR for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has developed much more slowly than multiport LLR. So far, 195 patients completed SILLR for HCC. In this paper, we reviewed all published papers about SILLR for HCC and discussed the feasibility of the SILLR, peri and postoperative findings, tricks of patient selection and whether SILLR compromise the oncological principles.

Keywords: Hepatocellular carcinoma; Laparoscopic liver surgery; Liver resection; Multiport laparoscopic liver resection; Single incision.
