Core Tip	We demonstrated an effective, reproducible technique for repeat Pringle maneuver in challenging minimally invasive repeat liver resection (MISRLR). We retrospectively evaluated 72 patients who underwent MISRLR and examined the impact of a modified Pringle taping technique guided by the caudate lobe of the liver as an anatomical landmark. A marked improvement in success rate of Pringle taping from 33.0% to 91.4% occurred following this modification with low morbidity and no mortality. Thus, the proposed method may enhance both safety and reproducibility in MISRLR, particularly for patients with a history of open liver resection.
