OBJECTIVE: To provide an updated review on the clinical experience in laparoscopic liver resection, specifically for @entity157 . METHODS: A comprehensive literature search in MEDLINE was conducted for all English papers up to May 2010 on laparoscopic liver resection for @entity157 . @entity1 characteristics, perioperative results, and oncologic outcomes were compared and analysed. RESULTS: We analysed 11 clinical studies involving 466 @entity157 @entity1 treated with laparoscopic hepatectomy. Thirty-seven (9%) @entity1 underwent major resection. @entity82 occurred in 62%. The mean operative time was 189.5 min, and the mean @entity190 was 315.6 mL. Blood transfusion was required in 14.6% of @entity1 . There were two operative deaths. @entity260 included @entity1157 (1%), @entity548 (2.9%), @entity1578 (5.1%), and @entity843 (6%). The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year disease-free survival rates ranged from 60% to 90%, 50% to 64%, and 31% to 50%, respectively, and the corresponding overall survival rates ranged from 85% to 100%, 67% to 100%, and 50% to 97% respectively. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic liver resection for @entity157 appears to be safe and to achieve acceptable oncologic outcomes even in cirrhotic livers, but whether it is comparable to conventional open surgery needs to be evaluated in a randomized, controlled trial setting.
