Abstract:BackgroundAlthough laparoscopic‐assisted donor hepatectomy (LADH) has become the definitive procedure for harvesting living donor livers, its surgical outcomes in association with donor body shape have not been elucidated.MethodsThe impact of donor factors, including thoracic shape, on LADH outcomes was retrospectively investigated.
