AB  - Laparoscopic  liver  resection  is  usually  performed  to  remove  a  cyst  or  a  tumor.  It  is  recommended  that  initial  experience  in  liver  resection  be  gained  with  small  peripheral  lesions,  hepatic  cysts,  liver  biopsies,  and  the  use  of  radiofrequency  ablation.  Facility  with  laparoscopic  ultrasonography  is  imperative.  As  technical  expertise  grows,  most  resections  that  can  be  performed  using  open  techniques  can  be  approached  laparoscopically.  Many  patients  with  liver  masses  are  cirrhotic;  therefore,  evaluation  for  portal  hypertension  and  careful  patient  selection  is  required.  For  cancers,  oncologic  principles  must  be  maintained.
