Core Tip	In the surgical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal liver metastasis, it is important to preserve sufficient liver volume after resection in order to avoid post-hepatectomy liver sufficiency and to increase the feasibility of repeated hepatectomy in case of intrahepatic recurrence. Parenchyma-sparing hepatectomy has been developed for the best remnant liver function as well as sufficient surgical margins and may have positive impacts on morbidity and mortality. Surgeons should overcome the technical difficulty and seek for the possibility of laparoscopic parenchyma-sparing hepatectomy, which will lead laparoscopic hepatectomy toward a truly minimally-invasive and beneficial approach.
