Popis: Background Liver surgery after selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) has been scarcely reported. The combination of laparoscopic approach in post-SIRT major liver surgery is a complex scenario to our knowledge not reported so far. Method From July' 2007–July' 2016, 40 patients underwent post-SIRT R0 resections in our center: 30 resections and 10 liver transplants. From March'2011, 5 (out of those 30) were full-laparoscopic resections: Three patients underwent laparoscopic right hepatectomy (LRH) after previous right hemiliver radiation lobectomy: two cirrhotic patients with HCC and one with colorectal cancer liver metastasis; one segment-VI resection in a cirrhotic patient, due to HCC and finally, a patient with a Budd-Chiari Syndrome and an infiltrating HCC in segment-III underwent left lateral seccionectomy. In all cases, the procedure was uneventfully completed full-laparoscopic and none required transfusion. Hospital stay was 3, 2, 5, 3 and 3 days respectively. We herein present a LRH in a 71 year-old patient after right hemiliver radiation lobectomy (due to a 7 cm unresectable HCC in a HCV cirrhotic liver). Case presentation, surgical findings and technique are detailed in this video, which also demonstrates the comparative hypoperfusion of the treated hemiliver revealed with ICG fluorescence, a hitherto undescribed finding. Results Hospital stay was 3 days. No early or late morbidity occurred. At this writing, 18 months after the resection and 43 months after the initial diagnosis the patient is alive and free of disease. Conclusion This experience suggests that laparoscopic liver resection after SIRT is feasible and safe, even in major hepatectomies.
