ABSTRACT
Laparoscopic liver resection has increasingly been used as a therapeutic modality in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its use in the treatment of spontaneously ruptured HCC has not been well documented. We describe a case of spontaneously ruptured HCC successfully treated with hand-assisted laparoscopic liver resection.
Key Words: Hand-assisted laparoscopy, Laparoscopy, Hepatectomy, Hepatocellular carcinoma, Ruptured.
