Minimal invasive techniques have allowed for major surgical advances. We report our initial experience of performing total laparoscopic left hepatectomy (segments II-IV) with the Lotus (laparoscopic operation by torsional ultrasound) Ultrasonic Scalpel. The perioperative and postoperative courses of the young female patient were uneventful and she is in a good general condition without complaints 18 mo after surgery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first total laparoscopic hemihepatectomy to be performed in Greece, as well as the first laparoscopic liver resection using Lotus shears.
微创技术已经为重大的外科手术进步提供了可能。我们报告了我们使用 Lotus（腹腔镜扭转超声手术）超声刀进行完全腹腔镜左半肝切除术（II-IV 段）的初步经验。年轻女性患者的围手术期和术后过程均顺利，术后 18 个月，她身体状况良好，没有任何不适。据我们所知，这是希腊首例全腹腔镜半肝切除术，也是首例使用 Lotus 剪进行的腹腔镜肝切除术。
