Impact of tumor size on the difficulty of laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomies

ConclusionsL-LLS for tumours of increasing size was associated with poorer intraoperative and early postoperative outcomes suggesting increasing difficulty of the procedure. We determined 3 optimal TS cutoffs(40-mm, 70-mm and 100-mm) to accurately stratify surgical difficulty after L-LLS.
