Left lateral sectionectomy for liver transplantation in children performed through laparoscopy is an innovative procedure that was developed by considering our acquired experience in both laparoscopic liver resection and graft harvesting in living donors. The main goal was to minimize donor morbidity while preserving the abdominal wall. Herein, we report the technical feasibility and reproducibility, and compared it with open liver resection (OLR).
