From the reviews:
“The purpose is to provide a comprehensive, evidence-based, up-to-date review of minimally invasive surgical approaches to hepatic resection. The book is appropriate for chief residents and fellows, but more importantly for attending surgeons who are looking for expert instruction and practical approaches to minimally invasive hepatectomy. … This is a must have for surgeons who have had some experience with minimally invasive surgery but who need to take it to the next level.” (James J. Mezhir, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2014)()
