[Laparoscopic Liver Surgery - a Single Centre Series of 250 Consecutive Cases].

CONCLUSION: Aside from appropriate expertise in conventional open liver surgery, minimally invasive surgery and intraoperative sonography, it is necessary to develop a structured program for the reliable implementation of laparoscopic liver surgery in German hospitals. Because of the convincing results, conventional open liver surgery will be largely replaced in Germany by laparoscopic techniques in the coming years.
