Summary
An international multidisciplinary panel of 45 experts from 6 continents developed a consensus statement on laparoscopic liver biopsy (LLB). LLB allows liver tissue sampling under direct visual inspection, complementing percutaneous liver biopsy for complex or high-risk cases. The consensus standardizes clinical practices that previously varied across centers, aiming to improve procedural quality, diagnostic efficiency, and safe tissue acquisition for clinical decision-making in complex liver diseases.

· 5 pulledLaparoscopic liver biopsy (LLB) provides a way to obtain liver tissue samples under direct visual inspection of the liver surface.
It complements percutaneous liver biopsy (PLB) for complex or high-risk cases where PLB cannot be performed.
Clinical practices for LLB vary across centers due to the lack of international standards.
To improve the procedural quality and diagnostic efficiency of LLB, a multidisciplinary panel of 45 international experts from 6 continents...
This consensus standardizes clinical practice and supports safe, accurate liver tissue acquisition to aid clinical decision-making in complex diseases.
