Donor Hepatectomy Technique
The technique for LDH that we prefer was described in the previous
studies from our liver institution. 5-7 The procedure
starts with cholecystectomy and we perform intraoperative
cholangiography routinely. It is performed as the initial step of the
procedure in order to decide to proceed with LDH. We also perform
intraoperative cholangiography as the last step the procedure following
hemostasis in order to determine any unrecognized injuries to the
biliary tract.
