However, the application of MIH in patients with obesity still remains controversial, and the outcomes of MIH vs. open hepatectomy (OH) have not been fully evaluated. Our objective is to compare the surgical outcomes of MIH with OH in patients with obesity and liver tumors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All studies comparing MIH with OH in patients with obesity and liver tumors were identified through a systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, WanFang, and CNKI databases. Statistical analysis was conducted using Review Manager version 5.4 software. The final search was conducted on 20 May 2025. The surgical outcomes included operative time, blood loss, blood transfusion rate, tumor size, overall and major postoperative complications, biliary leakage, liver failure, mortality, and length of hospital stay.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Eleven studies with a total of 1,713 patients were included in this meta-analysis.
