Background: The efficacy and safety of laparoscopic liver resections for liver tumors that are larger than 10 cm remain unclear. We developed a safe laparoscopic right hemihepatectomy for giant liver tumors using an anterior approach.
Methods: Eighty patients who underwent laparoscopic hemihepatectomy between January 2011 and December 2021 were divided into a nongiant tumor group ( = 65) and a giant tumor group ( = 15) for comparison.
Results: The median operating time, amount of blood loss, and length of postoperative hospital stay did not differ significantly between the nongiant and giant tumor groups. The sizes of the tumors and weights of the resected liver were significantly larger in the giant tumor group. A comparison between a nongiant group ( = 23) and a giant group ( = 12) treated with laparoscopic right hemihepatectomy showed similar results.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic hemihepatectomy, especially that performed on the right side, for giant tumors larger than 10 cm can be performed safely. Surgical techniques for giant liver tumors have been standardized, and their application is expected to spread widely in the future.

In Japan, the hinotori™ surgical robot system (Medicaroid Corporation, Kobe, Japan) was approved for gastrointestinal surgeries in October 2022. This report details our initial experience performing liver resection using the hinotori™ system. Ten patients, who were assessed as cases that would benefit from the robot-assisted procedure, underwent liver resections using the hinotori™ system at Fujita Health University, Okazaki Medical Center, between August 2023 and October 2024.

Background: Although laparoscopic hemihepatectomy has gained prominence, one of the critical challenges in this procedure is the approach to the middle hepatic vein (MHV). The MHV, which runs in the midplane of the liver, is situated above the hilar plate and serves as an anatomical landmark in hemihepatectomy. We have introduced dorsal approach to the MHV from the hilar plate in laparoscopic hemihepatectomy under the laparoscopic caudo-dorsal view.

Objective: The objective of this investigation was to ascertain the effectiveness of an ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) administered to patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma who were subjected to laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 172 patients, comparing 2 groups: one comprising 90 individuals who were administered intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) simultaneously with ESPB, and a second group of 82 patients who received PCA monotherapy. To equilibrate covariates across the groups, propensity score matching was executed, yielding 25 matched pairs as a result.
