Abstract：We read with great interest the article by Schulze et al. entitled “Robotic surgery and liver transplantation: A single-center experience of 501 robotic donor hepatectomies” [1] . It is the first single-center report including over 500 fully robotic donor hepatectomies. For the donors, the overall complication rate was 6.4% ( n = 32). Postoperative self-limiting bleeding (0.4%) and bile leakage from the resection plane (1.8%) were rare, none of which required further action. For recipients, the three-year actual overall recipient survival was 91.4%. Retransplantation rate was low (1.2%) as were the rates of biliary (5.6%) and vascular (4.4%) complications. Through this study, the authors demonstrated that robotic surgery is relatively mature in donor hepatectomies.
