Key Words	Laparoscopic donor hepatectomy; Living donor liver transplantation; Minimally invasive surgery
Core Tip	Reduced-wound donor hepatectomy has been developed to bridge the transition to pure laparoscopic donor hepatectomy, offering some advantages of minimally invasive surgery. To date, pure laparoscopic donor left lateral sectionectomy has been validated for its safety and advantages, while pure laparoscopic approaches to major left and right liver donation have been reported for their feasibility in expert hands. Careful donor selection and adopting standardized techniques allow experienced transplant surgeons to accumulate experience in this complex procedure. An international prospective registry will advance the understanding for the role and safety of pure laparoscopic donor hepatectomy.
