Core Tip	Liver surgery was one of the last frontiers reached by minimally invasive surgery. Surgical tech-nique and specialized equipment evolved to overcome technical limitations, making laparoscopic liver re-sections (LLR) safe and feasible. Surgeons developed skills in a stepwise approach, beginning with low complexity operations for benign diseases and reaching high-complexity surgeries for malignant cases and living donor organ harvesting. Despite a cautious slow start laparoscopic liver surgery has been incorporated to practice. On the following pages the successful history of LLR is depicted, along with an updated panel of it’s current role and expected achievements.
