| Blood transfusion, patients | 5 (25.0) | 6 (12.0) | 0.17 |
| Conversion to open | 5 (25.0) | 11 (22.0) | 0.79 |
| Additional organ resectionβ | 1 (5.0) | 3 (6.0) | 0.87 |
| Previous abdominal surgery | 1 (5.0) | 22 (44.0) | 0.002 |
| Morbidity and mortality | |||
| 90 days morbidity | 6 (30.0) | 10 (20.0) | 0.37 |
| 90 days mortality | 0 | 0 | NA |
| Major complications (grade 3-5) | 2 (10.0) | 3 (6.0) | 0.56 |

µ, cirrhosis is based on specimen histology and all cirrhotic patients were Child-Pugh A grade; β, excludes gallbladder as an addition organ as cholecystectomy is considered as part of the liver resection. PS, posterosuperior; SD, standard deviation; EBL, estimated blood loss; NA, not applicable; LOS, length of stay.
