Abstract
Objectives
: 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.
