| Core Tip |
Application of the laparoscopic approach in symptomatic hepatolithiasis has gradually attracted more attention. However, its advantages over the open approach are still unclear. We analyzed 16 articles, comprising 1329 patients, to compare the two techniques for treating hepatolithiasis. We concluded that the laparoscopic approach is safe, effective and feasible for liver resection, with less intraoperative estimated blood loss, fewer postoperative complications, reduced length of hospital stay and shorter intestinal function recovery time than with conventional approaches. |
