The purpose of this study was to evaluate patients undergoing laparoscopic repeat hepatectomy for recurrent hepatic tumors after open right lobectomy. Patients and Methods: Five cases of laparoscopic repeat hepatectomy for recurrent hepatic tumors after open right lobectomy were included in the study. Results: All the tumors in segment 3 were intraoperatively detected and curatively resected by partial hepatectomy. The tumors in segment 2 could not be detected intraoperatively due to hypertrophic liver deformity and adhesion. They were curatively resected by anatomical subsegmental approach. Conclusion: For recurrent tumors located in segment 2 after right lobectomy, anatomical subsegmental approach should be preferred, not only from an oncological standpoint, but also for securing curative laparoscopic resection and overcoming anatomical difficulties.
