Methods  The clinical data of 32 patients with liver tumor underwent laparoscopic liver resection from January 2009 to August 2011 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively.
Results  The laparoscopic liver resection of 32 patients with liver tumor were performed successfully,including 23 cases of primary liver cancer,5 cases of metastatic liver,3 cases of liver hemangioma,1 case of focal liver nodular hyperplasia. Laparoscopic liver resection included left lateral lobectomy (Ⅱ+Ⅲ segments) in 17 cases,left internal lobectomy (Ⅳ segment) in 2 cases (left lateral lobe was already removed),left hemihepatectomy (Ⅱ+Ⅲ+Ⅳ segments) in 8 cases,Ⅴsegmentectomy in 1 case,and Ⅵ segmentectomy in 1 case,and Ⅲ,Ⅳ,and Ⅴ segments hemihepatectomy in 3 cases. The average operation time of hepatectomy was 75-285 min with an average 215 min. Intraoperative bleeding was 115-760 ml with an average 365 ml. No complications such as bile leakage,hemorrhage,air embolism, and so on happened. The time of gastrointestinal function recovery was 1-3 d. The hospital stay was 5-11 d with an average 6 d. Thirty-one cases were followed-up,the follow-up time was 6-32 months with an average 18 months,except one case was died of tumor recurrence and metastasis in one year after operation,the rest were alive,no tumor recurrence and metastasis happened.
