Graphical Abstract
Lee and colleagues describe a groundbreaking total robot-assisted explant hepatectomy followed by robotic engraftment for a patient requiring a living donor liver transplant. This report represents a crucial step towards implementing robot-assisted liver transplantation, a cutting-edge surgical technique that could change the surgical trend in recipient surgery for liver transplantation.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT
Four robot arms were supported by Intuitive Inc. for the initial seven cases of robot-assisted engraftment at Seoul National University Hospital.
