Abstract
To assess the feasibility of hepatolithiasis treatment using laparoscopic liver resections, a prospective study of laparoscopic liver resections was undertaken in selected patients with left intrahepatic stone disease. The patients underwent a laparoscopic left lobectomy to try to alleviate the symptoms of their disease. Two patients were operated on successfully. Mean blood loss was 400-600 ml. Laparoscopic resections are feasible methods of treatment for selected patients with left intrahepatic stone disease.Entities:
