Abstract
We thank Dr. August and Dr. Visser for their interest and comments regarding our study on the feasibility of minimal-invasive procedures to treat lesions in the posterosuperior segments of the liver (1). As appropriately pointed out, the inclusion of patients undergoing major hepatectomy for a lesion in the posterosuperior segments limits the ability to evaluate the technical difficulties one is likely to encounter when performing isolated posterosuperior segmentectomy.
