Abstract    With the fast development of medical diagnostic modalities in China， more and more patients with hepatic benign space-occupying lesions (HBSOL) have been found. The importance of the diseases has never been so emphasized before. In the past two decades， hepatectomy has developed quickly，meanwhile the utilization of laparoscopic hepatectomy has become a great complement to the traditional liver surgery by increasing safety and decreasing damage. Howeve，there are still controversies in the area of laparoscopic treatment for HBSOL，such as the operation indication and optimal surgical strategies.
