Exploring laparoscopic liver surgeries, researchers scrutinized 112 patients undergoing laparoscopically limited anatomic resections (LARs) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM). Impressively, lap-LAR demonstrated precise technique, yielding promising oncologic outcomes with low complications. Five-year recurrence-free survival rates for HCC and CRLM stood at 45.1% and 36.8%, showcasing lap-LAR’s potential as an effective therapeutic option for liver malignancies.
