Laparoscopic hepatectomy brings many physiologic advantages over open hepatectomy and adheres to all oncologic principles. It is currently considered the standard of care. However, these are technically difficult operations to perform. Consequently, the expertise may not be universally available for all patients to benefit from laparoscopic hepatectomy. We report a unique situation where remote mentoring was used to guide bariatric surgeons in Jamaica to complete a laparoscopic hepatectomy.
与开腹肝切除术相比,腹腔镜肝切除术具有许多生理优势,并且符合所有肿瘤学原则。目前它被视为标准治疗方法。然而,这些手术在技术上操作难度较大。因此,并非所有患者都能普遍获得相关专业知识以从腹腔镜肝切除术中受益。我们报告了一种独特的情况,即通过远程指导来引导牙买加的减重外科医生完成一台腹腔镜肝切除术。
