Peng JX, et al. - The therapeutic safety, and perioperative and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic major hepatectomy (LMH) vs open major hepatectomy (OMH) for hepatolithiasis were evaluated in this retrospective study. Researchers noted that for selected patients with hepatolithiasis, LMH could be an effective and safe treatment. Compared to OMH, LMH had an advantage in the field of less intra-operative blood loss, less intra-operative transfusion, less overall complications, and faster postoperative recovery.
