Early experiences with developing techniques for pure laparoscopic explant hepatectomy in living donor liver transplantation

Jane Chungyoon Kim, Suk Kyun Hong, Kwang‐Woong Lee, Sola Lee, Sanggyun Suh, Su young Hong, Eui Soo Han, YoungRok Choi, Nam‐Joon Yi, Kyung‐Suk Suh – 20 August 2022 – In recent years, laparoscopic techniques for liver resection or living donor hepatectomy have become common surgical methods.
