Segment 4: Laparoscopic Approach

  • Chapter
Minimally Invasive Surgery of the Liver

Part of the book series: Updates in Surgery ((UPDATESSURG))

Abstract

Segment 4 (S4) laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is demanding for two main reasons: laparoscopic liver surgeons more frequently perform either isolated S4 resection (i.e., segmentectomy, wedge resection) or in association with central or left hepatectomy; for transplant teams involved in living-related pediatric living transplantation, S4 resection represents a crucial part of laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy because the cutting plane crosses S4 and can be moved according to the volume of the harvested liver (left lateral sectionectomy, left hepatectomy) [1–3].
