Abstract
Two cases of limited laparoscopic liver resection of benign tumors loc ated in segment II and segment IV have been presented. The tumors were found during preoperative studies of biliary attacks and studied by m eans of ultrasonography and computed tomographic scan. During laparosc opy, the exact localization and surgical limits of the tumors were det ermined by visualization and laparoscopic ultrasonography. Dissection during laparoscopy was performed using the endoscopic cavitational ult rasonic surgical aspirator, achieving resection of the tumors with min imal blood loss.
