Minimally invasive surgery played a crucial role in modern medicine. With advantages such as less trauma, precise operation, minimal bleeding, and rapid postoperative recovery, minimally invasive procedures had been increasingly applied in the field of liver transplantation in recent years. This included techniques such as small incision living donor hepatectomy through an upper abdominal midline incision, laparoscopic-assisted living donor hepatectomy, pure laparoscopic living donor hepatectomy, and robotic living donor hepatectomy. Since Professor Cherqui from France firstly reported the total laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy in living donors in 2002, the application of minimally invasive technology in living donor liver transplantation had become increasingly widespread. Based on this, so as to guide the more standardized, effective, and safe implementation of minimally invasive liver donor hepatectomy across the country, in August 2023, the Branch of Organ Transplant of Chinese Medical Association and the Branch of Organ Transplant Physicians of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized national liver transplantation experts to jointly formulate the “Chinese guidelines for minimally invasive surgical techniques in living donor liver transplantation (2024 edition)”. This is to provide scientific guidance and reference for surgeons performing minimally invasive surgery on living liver donors in China.
