| Core Tip |
Minimally invasive procedures have been increasingly used in liver resection, as they are considered safe and effective. Concerns have been raised, however, about the feasibility and donor safety of minimally invasive living donor hepatectomy. We analyzed 13 articles, containing 1592 patients, to compare two techniques for harvesting grafts for living donor liver transplantation. Finally, we concluded that minimally invasive procedures are safe, effective, and feasible for living donor liver resection, with fewer donor postoperative complications and reduced length of hospital stay and analgesia requirement than conventional approaches. |
