Successful laparoscopic and robotic s7 segmentectomy using ICG-enhanced compression for hepatocellular carcinoma

ICG-enhanced compression anatomical segment 7 segmentectomy in laparoscopic and robotic approach was successfully performed in two cases of Child-Pugh class A hepatocellular carcinoma. The technique enabled identification and resection of posterosuperior lesions with minimal liver stiffness and no postoperative complications, achieving R0-resection margins and quick patient discharge, showcasing feasibility and reliability for future adoption.
