Influence of surgical technique in donor hepatectomy on immediate and short-term living donor outcomes – A systematic review of the literature, meta-analysis and expert panel recommendationsClinical TransplantationYee L Cheah et al.First published: 10 May 2022 https://doi.org/10.1111/ctr.14703AbstractObjectives: To identify whether surgical technique influences immediate and short-term outcomes after living liver donation surgery…Conclusions: Left donor hepatectomy should be preferred over right hepatectomy as it is related to improved donor short-term outcomes (QOE; Moderate | Grade of Recommendation; Strong). Right donor hepatectomy with or without MHV has equivalent outcomes (QOE; Moderate | Grade of Recommendation; Strong); no preference is recommended, decision should be based on program's experience and expertise. No difference in outcomes was observed related to incision type, minimally invasive vs open (QOE; Low | Grade of Recommendation; Weak); no preference can be recommended.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ctr.14703?campaign=wolacceptedarticle
