Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the early results in donor right hepatectomy for living donor liver transplantation in 108 Military Central Hospital. Subject and method: Retrospective study of 127 donors cases who underwent right hepatectomy from October 2017 to June 2022 at 108 Military Central Hospital. Result: The average age was 56.2 ± 12 years, and 80.3% of the donor were male. The remnant left liver volume: 37.86 ± 4.28%, right liver resection with middle hepatic vein accounted for the majority with 56.7%, graft size: 660.7 ± 107.9g, operative time: 281.3 ± 50.0 minutes, blood loss: 313.7 ± 169.2ml. There was no donor mortality, and the overall morbidity rate was 7.9%. Most of the complications of  donors were either grade II or III, and biliary complications were the most common complications, with an incidence of 4.7%. The percentage of left liver volume increased after 7 days: 64.68 ± 23.1% and the average length of hospital stay was 11.2 ± 3.0 days. Conclusion: With careful donor selection, right donor hepatectomy for living donor liver transplantation gives good results with a low complication rate.
