For liver resection of segment VII, laparoscopic liver resection led to higher postoperative liver damage than open liver resection. Open liver resection may be better for patients with liver cirrhosis to avoid postoperative liver-specific complications. Laparoscopic liver resection could be an acceptable procedure for patients without liver cirrhosis, with some merits such as less blood loss.
