Laparoscopic surgery of the liver and biliary tract.

Laparoscopic treatment of liver and biliary tract disease is growing in popularity but requires extensive experience. Among the lesions now managed with minimally invasive methods are simple cysts, polycystic liver disease, hydatid cysts, biliary stones, and benign solid tumors. Patient selection, surgical techniques, and outcomes are described.
