摘要

Here we present the first case of both laparoscopic and robot-assisted repeat liver resections in a patient with Situs Inversus Totalis (SIT). The patient is a 69-year-old male who had been diagnosed in 2020, at the age of 65, with a 44 mm hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) located at segment 4, treated through a laparoscopic left hepatectomy. After a disease-free period of 18 months, he underwent a laparoscopic segment 5 segmentectomy for recurrence. 21 months later, due to new recurrences located at segment 6 and segment 8, he underwent a segment 6 and segment 8 partial resection with robot-assisted approach. Both the laparoscopic liver resections were performed with selective extrahepatic Glissonean approach and ICG negative staining, after accurate 3D preoperative planning. 3D navigation proved crucial as well during the third surgery, which was performed with robot-assisted approach. To our knowledge, this is the first case of laparoscopic and robot-assisted repeat liver surgery in a patient affected by SIT, proving the feasibility of minimally invasive surgery even in extremely complex contexts, especially with the help of innovative tools such as ICG guidance and 3D navigation.
