We review the history, indications, and latest modifications of the surgical technique of the anterior approach for right hepatectomy for massive tumors. The anterior approach provides a “no‐touch” technique in resecting large right‐lobe tumors, reduces bleeding volume, decreases the chance of iatrogenic rupture of tumors, and probably prolongs survival.
