Core Tip	While pioneering attempts are necessary in surgery to allow the development of expertise, the use of technologies in progressively sophisticated procedures must be carefully monitored and gradually implemented to ensure patient safety. The robotic surgical system overcomes reduced visualization, restricted range of motion and physiological tremor associated with conventional laparoscopic surgery. However, robotic donor hepatectomy needs to be evaluated carefully in experienced hands and a cautious approach is crucial, as even one untoward event in the donor surgery may significantly set back progress.
