Core Tip	This study presented the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and surgical outcomes of 68 cases performed laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) and open liver resection (OLR). A statistically significant correlation was observed between BMI and operation time, between BMI and blood loss in OLR, but not in LLR. Open liver resection and BMI were independent predictors for prolonged operation time and increased blood loss in multivariate analysis. LLR in obese patients was safe and had great benefit without prolonged operation time and increased blood loss.
