Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <sec id="ajt12360-sec-0001" sec-type="section"> <p>In recent years different minimal access strategies have been designed in order to perform living donor liver surgery for adult recipients with less morbidity. Techniques involve shortening the length of the incision with or without previous laparoscopic mobilization of the liver. Herein we present two cases of totally laparoscopic living donor left hepatectomy, with and without removal of the middle hepatic vein, respectively. We describe in detail the anatomical and technical aspects of the procedure focusing on relevant points to enhance safety.</p> </sec> </abstract>
