Abstract
Knowledge of the anatomy of the liver is most important for surgeons to perform liver resection. It includes perihepatic ligaments, the biliary system, the portal vein system, the hepatic vein system, and the hepatic artery system (Fig. 1.1). Due to the different viewing angles in open liver resection and laparoscopic liver resection, the laparoscopic view of the liver’s anatomy might be a little different from the open condition.
