Laparoscopic liver resection has been widely applied in the field of liver surgery due to its minimally invasive advantages. During laparoscopic liver resection, accurately identifying and exposing the important anatomical landmarks within the liver is a key step to ensure surgical safety, achieve precise resection, and improve the efficiency of the surgical process. Despite the continuous development of minimally invasive surgical techniques, the accurate identification and precise exposure of the anatomical structures within the liver remain the core demonstration of the professional capabilities of hepatobiliary surgeons. Preoperative image planning, intraoperative real-time navigation technology and refined surgical operations not only optimize the surgical process but also provide feasible support for the minimally invasive approach in complex hepatectomy.
