Safety and Risk Factors of Pure Laparoscopic Living Donor Right Hepatectomy: Comparison to Open Technique in Propensity Score–matched Analysis

Abstract

In the initial 91 pure LLDRH cases, incidence of major complication was higher than in the OLDRH group, but the difference was not significant in propensity-matched analysis. A right hepatic duct verified as <1 cm may be related to increased frequency of complications in pure LLDRH donors. Further analysis is needed.
