Comparison Between Pure Laparoscopic Donor Right Hepatectomy and Convensional Donor Right Hepatectomy

Clinical Outcome of Living Donor Hepatectomy for Liver Transplantation: a Retrospective Study

Perioperative clincal outcome between PLDRH and conventional open donor right hepatectomy (ODRH) will be compared retrospectively.

the superiority of laparoscopic liver resection was well known in terms of reduced blood loss and minimized hospital stay compared with open liver resection. However, pure laparoscopic donor hepatectomy is a challenging procedure for beginner liver surgeons because of the major vessel preservation required during liver parenchymal transection. this study was designed to identify the superiority of laparoscopic donor hepatectomy.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients received right or right extended hepatectomy for liver donation at gangnam severance hospital

Exclusion Criteria:
