Solo Reduced Port Laparoscopic Left Lateral Sectionectomy

ABSTRACT

Laparoscopic approach for left lateral sectionectomy became the standard procedure. With increasing demand for minimizing of the access ports and with the advancement in surgical technique, reduced port laparoscopic surgery is introducing itself to the fields of hepatic surgery. We report a case of solo reduced port laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy for a 25-year-old patient with a 1.7 cm sized tumor implant of growing teratoma syndrome. She underwent salpingo-oophorectomy and 3 cycles of chemotherapy with bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin 2 prior to the operation. Her BMI was 18.3 kg/m². The total operation time was 85 minutes and estimated blood loss was scanty. The patient was discharged without a significant complication on postoperative day 5. In the video, we demonstrate the surgical procedure of the solo reduced port laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy using a laparoscopic scope holder.
