Core Tip	In laparoscopic approach, there are minimum needs for: (1) laparotomy and dissection of the attachments/adhesion which may cause destructions in the collateral blood/lymphatic flows; and (2) compression of the liver which may cause parenchymal damage for liver resection (LR). Therefore, laparoscopic LR (LLR) results in minimal postoperative ascites and following fatal complications in the patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and chronic liver disease. Laparoscopic approach also results in improved vision and manipulation in a small operative field in the case of repeat LR between adhesions. These characteristics make LLR safer and more accessible to the repeat treatment, such as multicentric/metachronous lesions in cirrhotic liver.
