Efficiency and safety of laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy: A study of intrathecal <i>vs</i> extrathecal Glissonean pedicle techniques

Both extrathecal and intrathecal Glissonean pedicle approaches are effective and safe hepatic inflow occlusion techniques in laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy for HCC. However, the extrathecal approach simplifies the hepatic pedicle transection, shortens the operation time, and increases the surgical efficiency, making it a more feasible technique.
