One of the challenges of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is the exposure of the surgical field. We propose a new surgical approach to better expose the right liver, stretching of the ligamentum teres hepatis (SLTH), and we evaluated its clinical feasibility and limitations through a study analyzi...
