Title: Laparoscopic liver resection of segment 8 via a hepatic parenchymal transection-first
approach guided by the middle hepatic vein
Version: 4 Date: 24 Feb 2022
Reviewer's report:
I really congratulate authors' safe and new technique for laparoscopic liver resection is S8, which
is the most difficult area to be resected. I found that the results were quite good and reproducible.
However, according to the recent consensus meeting during JSHBPS in Japan, 2021, this kind of
approach cannot be categorized as "anatomical" (J Hepatobiliary Pancreat Sci. 2022;29:66–81.).
I do not agree to the consensus, but we must follow. I recommend that the term "anatomical"
should be removed from the title and whole manuscript.
