The treatment of liver diseases comprises a significant component of the practice of any general surgeon, whether working in an academic, a general, or a community hospital. With the rapid expansion in knowledge and technology, the liver has also been approached laparoscopically in specialized centers, with well-recognized advantages for patients. This book aims to communicate the large body of experience that has now been accumulated in minimally invasive liver surgery, with comprehensive and up-to-date information on the newest techniques. After a concise description of the main tools and technology necessary to carry out safe laparoscopic and/or robot-assisted liver surgery, individual operative techniques are explained and illustrated. Each chapter includes introductory information, a summary of indications and contraindications, and a detailed description of surgical procedure, including potential complications of both the surgery and the postoperative care. Special efforts have been taken to ensure that the illustrations are accurate and informative. The text is supplemented by a DVD of different procedures as performed by leading European liver surgeons.

From the reviews:
"The purpose is to provide a comprehensive, evidence-based, up-to-date review of minimally invasive surgical approaches to hepatic resection. The book is appropriate for chief residents and fellows, but more importantly for attending surgeons who are looking for expert instruction and practical approaches to minimally invasive hepatectomy. ... This is a must have for surgeons who have had some experience with minimally invasive surgery but who need to take it to the next level." (James J. Mezhir, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2014)
