Core Tip	Liver resection (LR) for hepatocellular carcinoma patients with chronic liver disease has high risks for developing significant postoperative complications and multicentric metachronous lesions with need of repeated treatments. Laparoscopic LR has advantages of reduced surgery-induced parenchymal injury and destruction of the collateral blood/lymphatic flow, which leads to reduced production of postoperative ascites, and facilitates repeat LR because of reduced adhesion formation and improved vision/manipulation between adhesions. These characteristics of laparoscopic LR may lead to expansion of the indications for LR.
