    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Single-port laparoscopy has been used in a variety of abdominal operations. We report the first case of single-port laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy in pediatric laparoscopic living donor liver transplantation. CASE SUMMARY: A 28-year-old man volunteered for living liver donation to his daughter who was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension after the Kasai procedure for biliary atresia. His body mass index was 20.5 kg/m2. Liver dynamic computed tomography showed: (1) Left lateral graft volume of 232.76 cm3 with a graft-to-recipient weight ratio of 2.59%; and (2) Right hepatic artery derived from the superior mesenteric artery. A single-port access system was placed through a transumbilical incision, including four trocars: two 12-mm ports for a camera and endoscopic stapler and two 5-mm working ports. Liver parenchyma was dissected by a Harmonic and Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator, while bipolar was used for coagulation. The bile duct was transected above the bifurcation by indocyanine green fluorescence cholangiography. The specimen was retrieved from the umbilical incision. The total operation time was 4 h without blood transfusion. The final graft weight was 233.6 g with graft-to-recipient weight ratio of 2.60%. The donor was discharged uneventfully on postoperative day 4. CONCLUSION: Single-port laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy is feasible in pediatric laparoscopic living donor liver transplantation in an experienced transplant center.
