Feasibility of Pure Laparoscopic Donor Right Hepatectomy Compared to Open Donor Right Hepatectomy: A Large Single-Center Cohort Study.

Objective: This study aimed to compare morbidity of living donors and recipients after pure laparoscopic donor right hepatectomy (PLDRH) and open donor right hepatectomy (ODRH).

Background: Donor and recipient morbidity have not been sufficiently reported in large-scale comparisons of PLDRH and ODRH.

Methods: This retrospective study reviewed 3348 donors who underwent PLDRH (n=329) and ODRH (n=3019) and their corresponding recipients (n=3348) between January 2014 and August 2023.

Rescue fibrin glue-infiltrating hemostasis combined with hepatorrhaphy to control intractable postoperative bleeding from the liver cut surface.

Various topical hemostatic agents can help induce coagulation at the liver cut surface. However, hemostasis is usually ineffective in controlling bleeding. We present a case of rescue fibrin glue-infiltrating hemostasis combined with hepatorrhaphy to manage intractable postoperative bleeding from the liver cut surface.
