description Laparoscopic hepatectomy brings many physiologic advantages over open hepatectomy and adheres to all oncologic principles. It is currently considered the standard of care.

We report a unique situation where remote mentoring was used to guide bariatric surgeons in Jamaica to complete a laparoscopic hepatectomy.
