Background: The impact of three-dimensional (3D) visualization on laparoscopic hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma is largely unknown.
Methods: A retrospective review with propensity-score matched analysis of 3D and two-dimensional (2D) laparoscopic hepatectomy performed in a tertiary hepatobiliary surgery center.
Results: Since the availability of 3D laparoscopy, the proportion of laparoscopic major hepatectomies has significantly expanded (1.
