Abstract Full laparoscopic liver resection has been performed widely since it was introduced in the early 1990s. It has been expanded from initial for partial resection of the anterolateral segments to non-restriction of area of the liver [1–3] . Anatomical liver resection is considered to have potential superiority than non-anatomic resection in terms of tumor prognosis, thus it is more often recommended in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma [ 4 , 5 ]. Recently, laparoscopic segmental liver resection according to the Couinaud classification has been widely performed due to its advantages in minimal invasiveness and tumor prognosis.
