主 题:Robotic liver surgery robotic living donor hepatectomy minimally invasive donor hepatectomy live donor liver transplant
摘 要:The application of minimally invasive liver surgery(MILS)in the field of living donor hepatectomy has been exceedingly slow,and its impact is limited to a handful of centers *** adoption has been primarily hampered by the technical limitations of laparoscopy,namely rigid instrumentation,suboptimal optics,and a seemingly steep learning *** deficiencies are magnified in the donor hepatectomy operation wherein the parenchyma and vasculature must be handled atraumatically to produce a pristine allograft fit for *** safety concerns and medicolegal ramifications are also cited as impediments to MILS in donor *** 2013,our institution embraced a purely laparoscopic approach to living donor left lateral sectionectomy,and it quickly became our default ***,with donor hemi-hepatectomy,we gravitated to the robotic surgical system as our preferred ***,we describe our experience with minimally invasive donor hepatectomy,which we now universally offer to all living *** extensive familiarity with robotic donor hepatectomy will provide the reader with an instructive perspective on the attributes and merits of the robotic *** appropriate collaboration and proctorship,we believe that the robotic platform will actualize a more rapid and widespread adoption than that experienced with the purely laparoscopic technique.
