The experience with Robotic-assisted laparoscopic liver resection is still very limited and indications for such surgery have not been extensively reported. Some of the advantages of such technique are the 3-dimensional view along with a 360-degree range of motion. We, hereby, report our experience with of a well-differentiated HCC located in segment 5 in an 83-year old patient. This video illustrates a unique technique for laparoscopic robotic liver tumor resection using radiofrequency ablation to pre-coagulate the resection line. Intra-operative laparoscopic liver ultrasound is also included. The tumor was completely resected with macroscopically negative free margins
