Pure Laparoscopic Anatomic Resection of the Segment 8 Ventral Area Using the Transfissural Glissonean Approach

Background Pure laparoscopic anatomic resection of liver segment 8 still is rarely performed due to technical difficulties and the anatomic complexity.1,2 Limited resection of the segment 8 ventral area has been possible because the right anterior section can be divided into ventral and dorsal areas.3,4 This report describes the technique of pure laparoscopic anatomic resection of the segment 8 ventral area using the transfissural Glissonean approach.
