Nonanatomical partial hepatectomy with lymphadenectomy was performed. Liver parenchymal dissection was performed using Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator laparoscopically and Maryland bipolar dissector and Harmonic scalpel robotically. The operation time was 180 and 220 minutes, and the estimated blood loss was 140 and 130 mL, respectively. The final pathologies were pT1bN0 and pT2aN1, for which patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. There was no evidence of recurrence at 33 and 18 months without complications.
