LARH via Laennec’s approach. A–D Laennec's approach was used to dissect the gallbladder. E–H The Goldfinger dissector was used to separate the GP of the right liver, and there was a gap between the GP and Laennec's capsule, and endo GIA stapler-cutter was used for the excision of the right liver pedicle. I–L The ultrasonic scalpel was used to separate the gap between the right liver and the right adrenal gland. M–P The gap between the right hepatic vein and the liver parenchyma was exposed, and then, endo-GIA stapler-cutter was used for excision. Q–T The ultrasonic scalpel was used to excise the perihepatic ligament, including the bare area. The arrows point to the Laennec’s capsule and magnified at 100×
