    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility, safety, and outcome of laparoscopic liver resection for benign liver tumors. METHODS: Fourteen patients with benign liver tumors, including 11 cases of hepatic hemangioma, 1 case of hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia, 1 case of hepatic granulomatous inflammation, and 1 case of liver cyst with hyaline degeneration and calcification underwent laparoscopic liver resection by PMOD. RESULTS: Hepatectomy was performed successfully under laparoscope in these 14 patients. There was no conversion to open approach, no postoperative mortality and no postoperative complication. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 6.4 days without recurrence. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic liver resection of benign liver tumors by PMOD is feasible and safe for patients with symptomatic and undetermined hepatic tumor, and is applicable in hepatic hemangioma complicated with cholecystitis.
