Laparoscopic hepatectomy has been recently proposed for the treatment of liver tumors, however there is a lack of experimental models to study surgical technique and the metabolic reactions after this procedure. The dog is an important animal for research but the laparoscopic hepatectomy model is not well established in this animal. We describe the surgical laparoscopic technique of left liver ...
