Global Outcomes of Open Versus Laparoscopic Versus Robotic Donor Hepatectomy: A Prospective Study From the International LDLT Registry (LDLTregistry.org)
This is the first global study to show evidence that robotic living donor hepatectomy offers superior short-term outcomes compared with laparoscopic and open approaches. Although open surgery remains the most common approach, robotic techniques show promise for improving donor safety and recovery.
