Figure 2. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) examination at the fourth laparoscopic liver resection (A) and schema of the surgical resection plan (B). (A): A contrast-enhanced CT examination demonstrated three (12, 7 and 5 mm) lesions (arrowheads) in the deep area of liver segment 4, inside the portal territories of subsegments 4a and 4b. (B): A laparoscopic anatomical liver resection of subsegments 4a and 4b was planned for the removal of possible disseminated tumor cells in the portal territories and the preservation of maximum liver volume. Glissonian branches to subsegments 4a and 4b were divided at their roots (bars), while 4c was preserved on the bottom of the resection plane (arrow). White circles indicate tumors
