Seen through a laparoscope, a liver was very beautiful. This was especially true when a person watched a hepatectomy through the screen. The liver was light pink, and it looked extremely lively. It looked like an inflamed gallbladder who was spreading its wings and protecting its egg.
However, when it came to open surgeries, the liver did not usually look beautiful.
Cirrhosis and blackish tissues were extremely common sights in open liver surgery. This was especially true when the incision made was small, as when a surgeon looked at the liver from above, he could only see a part of the liver. And this part would usually be covered in blood a few seconds into the surgery.
In short, laparoscopic liver surgeries could still somehow be considered elegant, but open liver surgeries usually had no aesthetic value at all.
