Summary

Laparoscopy-assisted hybrid donor hepatectomy (LADH) is safe and effective for procuring left liver grafts, showing faster recovery for donors. Careful planning is needed for donors with large right lobes due to potential surgical difficulty.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Organ Transplantation

Background:

  • Laparoscopic liver resection in live donors may reduce donor stress.
  • The safety and efficacy of laparoscopy-assisted hybrid donor hepatectomy (LADH) require further evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of LADH for obtaining left-side liver grafts.

Main Methods:

  • 31 live liver donors underwent LADH for left-side grafts.
  • Compared LADH outcomes with 79 donors who had traditional open donor hepatectomy (ODH).

Main Results:

  • LADH was feasible in all cases with no mortality.
  • Operative time was longer in LADH, but donors showed faster recovery in physical and pain scores.

  • A large right lobe was a risk factor for prolonged operative time in LADH.

    • Conclusions:

    • LADH is safe and effective for left-side liver grafts, including the caudate lobe.
    • Careful surgical planning is recommended for LADH in donors with large right lobes.
