Does the surgical technique for the donor influence immediate and short-term outcomes after living liver donation?

Sub-questions

  • Does left vs. right hepatectomy (with or without the MHV) and the residual volume influence the recovery of the donor after living liver donation?
  • Does the open incision type (midline vs. other) influence the recovery of the donor after living liver donation?
  • Does the operation duration influence the recovery of the donor after living liver donation?
  • Does a minimally invasive approach (where available/feasible) of the donor hepatectomy influence immediate and short-term outcomes after living liver donation?
