Laparoscopic Approach in Liver Harvesting from Living Donors for Transplantation in Children

Aim . To analyze own experience of laparoscopic liver resection in living donors and to compare our results with the experience of world leading centers. Material and Methods. In our center 32 laparoscopic liver resections for transplantation to pediatric patients have been performed since May 2016 to October 2017. Left lateral sector resection was performed in 31 cases, left-sided hemihepatectomy – in one case. Results. Mean age of donors was 28.61 (±5.84) years, mean intraoperative blood loss – 93.87 (± 50) ml, time of surgery – 276 (±44) min, length of hospital-stay – 4 (± 1.12) days. There were no complications Clavien–Dindo grade II and over. Conclusion. Laparoscopic liver resection in adult donors for transplantation to pediatric patients is followed by qualitative graft and facilitates rapid rehabilitation of living donor.
