In addition, rejection rates were found to be lower in LDLT, which is attributed to the fact that LDLT is usually performed between relatives.

From January 2000 to June 2014, 1149 patients underwent LDLT procedures. Thirty patients with LDLT using a right lobe graft with multiple HA stumps and 149 patients with LDLT using a right lobe graft with a single HA stump were enrolled.

Adam E. Mikolajczyk, Jeanne M. Farnan, John F. McConville, Donald M. Jensen, K. Gautham Reddy, Helen S. Te, Nancy Reau, Andrew I. Aronsohn – 10 August 2016 – There is an increasing burden of chronic liver disease (CLD) in the United States but a significant shortage of hepatologists. Thus, it is necessary to develop new recruitment strategies to the field of hepatology as well as ensure that non‐gastroenterology‐trained physicians are able to capably assist in the care of CLD.
Po‐Da Chen, Chao‐Ying Wu, Rey‐Heng Hu, Cheng‐Maw Ho, Po‐Huang Lee, Hong‐Shiee Lai, Ming‐Tsan Lin, Yao‐Ming Wu – 10 August 2016 – Right hepatectomy for a living liver donor via a pure minimally invasive approach is a challenging procedure and only a few cases have been reported. Between May 2013 and August 2015, 13 patients underwent robotic living donor right hepatectomy in our institute, and 54 patients received open surgery. In this series, no conversion was conducted for robotic donor right hepatectomy.
