Abstract

To assess the feasibility of hepatolithiasis treatment using laparoscopic liver resections, a prospective study of laparoscopic liver resections was undertaken in selected patients with left intrahepatic stone disease. The patients underwent a laparoscopic left lobectomy to try to alleviate the symptoms of their disease. Two patients were operated on successfully. Mean blood loss was 400–600 ml. Laparoscopic resections are feasible methods of treatment for selected patients with left intrahepatic stone disease.
