Abstract
BACKGROUND: Numerous surgical techniques are currently available for minimally invasive left hepatic resection, each offering its own advantages and disadvantages. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This multimedia manuscript delves into the primary approaches for minimally invasive left hepatectomy, with a focus on particular topics such as left hepatic vein approach, transection and middle hepatic vein exposure, and Glissonean approach. We examine key factors that surgeons should consider when choosing among these methods and provide practical recommendations. RESULTS: To enhance understanding, our article includes video footage from multiple centres, showcasing expertly executed surgeries for each approach along with their main considerations. CONCLUSIONS: This multimedia resource will serve as a valuable guide for surgeons, aiding in the selection of the most suitable strategy for minimally invasive left hepatectomies, tailored to the specific needs of the patient and the characteristics of the lesion.
