Abstract
We report the first 2 cases of fully robotic recipient left graft living donor liver transplants, demonstrating the technical feasibility of using left grafts, accompanied by a video. We anticipate that making the donor selection criteria more liberal, initially confined to right grafts, will result in an increase of the number of recipients who can potentially benefit from robotic liver transplantation. These 2 cases set an example for further studies and the broader application of robotic technology in liver transplantation, aiming to further refine the technique at this early stage and extend its potential advantages to a larger population.
