title: [Laparoscopic resection of Spiegel lobe].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the feasibility and experience of laparoscopic resection for Spiegel lobe associated with left liver lobe.
  
  
  METHODS
  Three patients underwent laparoscopic resection of Spiegel lobe associated with left liver lobe. Left hemihepatectomy or left lateral lobectomy was carried out firstly and then Spiegel lobe resected through the left-sided approach.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 3 cases were performed successfully. The median operative time was 197 min and the median blood loss 467 ml. The postoperative period was uneventful without hemorrhage, bile leakage, infection or abdominal effusion.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Laparoscopic resection of Spiegel lobe associated with left liver lobe is safe and feasible when performed in selected cases and by experienced surgeons in laparoscopic hepatectomy.
