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.
