Area of Science:

  • Surgical Techniques
  • Transplant Surgery
  • Hepatobiliary Surgery

Background:

  • Living donor liver transplantation is a critical procedure.
  • Accurate procurement of liver grafts is essential for successful transplantation.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are sought to improve donor safety and graft quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel tape-guided technique for living donor left hepatectomy.
  • To evaluate the safety and accuracy of this procedure for liver graft procurement.

Main Methods:

  • A tape is strategically placed along the inferior vena cava or Arantius' ligament.
  • The tape guides the division of liver parenchyma during transection.
  • This technique is applied for left liver procurement, with or without the caudate lobe.
