Minimally invasive caudate lobectomy can lead to significant bleeding due to its proximity to the IVC, portal pedicle, and hepatic veins. Preoperative modeling and careful dissection techniques can help in safely managing the Spiegel/IVC interface during laparoscopic caudate resection, reducing the risk of thermal injury and ensuring successful outcomes.

Liver transplantation gave better 5-year survival than liver resection in combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma, including tumors within UCSF criteria.
A close-to-open cutting method was used for robotic liver resection, with no bile leaks and shorter hospital stays than after laparoscopy.
Robotic liver resection using a close-to-open forceps technique was associated with no bile leakage and a shorter hospital stay than laparoscopic resection, even though more complex resections were performed in the robotic group.
