Abstract
Purpose: The volume of liver transplantation has been limited in the Western part of the globe by the low number of liver grafts available from deceased donors. Furthermore, the invasiveness of performing an open living donor hepatectomy makes it a less appealing option to the public. The introduction of minimally invasive living donor hepatectomy has helped increase the number of liver living donors. This approach is growing in North America not yet disseminated yet due to its complexity. This video aims to showcase our approach to a purely laparoscopic left donor hepatectomy that includes the caudate lobe as well as the middle hepatic vein in an effort to maximize the volume and function of the donated left liver lobe graft.
