Summary

Robotic assistance is useful for navigating and dissecting the mediastinal space. In comparison to traditional open techniques, minimally invasive approaches have been shown to have superior short-term outcomes and comparable oncologic out­comes when applicable. Robotic-assisted mediastinal surgery has further enhanced existing VATS techniques given its three-dimensional visualization, improved dex­terity with articulating EndoWrist technology, and elimination of tremor. Future advances such as haptic feedback would further increase the value of robotic assis­tance in delicate mediastinal operations. The most common indicated procedures were presented in detail for the anterior, middle, and posterior mediastinal lesions. The principles learned from these examples may be applied to a wide variety of mediastinal pathologies. Continued research on the efcacy of robotic-assisted mediastinal resections is needed as well as ongoing development of robotic surgical techniques and technology.

Introduction

Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) consists of two simultaneous operations where (1) a healthy living person donates a portion of their liver to a recipient on the liver transplantation waiting list and (2) the recipient has their diseased liver removed and the donated graft implanted. LDLT is possible due to the regenerative properties of the liver; in ideal situations, the remnant liver in the donor and the recipient may regrow to volumes close to 100% of original volume 1year after surgery [1, 2].
The rst successful living donor liver transplantation was performed in 1989, where the left lateral section of a mother was transplanted into her 18-month-old child with biliary atresia [3]. The selection of the lobe or section to be donated is the smallest portion of the liver that meets the requirement of the recipient (most

common metric used is the graft to body weight ratio where the most conventional limit is 0.8) [4].
The majority of LDLT cases globally are performed in Asia, whereas only 658 out of 10,660 (6.2%) cases of liver transplantation in the United States were from living donor grafts in 2023 [5, 6]. Due to the technically complex nature of both the donor and recipient operations, these procedures are performed at highly special­ized centers. Each potential living donor and recipient undergo an extensive evalu­ation process to determine suitability for LDLT.
In the United States, recipients who undergo living donor liver transplantation have improved survival rates at 1year compared those who received grafts from brain-dead donors [7]. They also return to work earlier and have higher rates of returning to work for income. The availability of a living donor eliminates their need to wait for deterioration of their liver function to increase their chances of obtaining a deceased donor graft.

Robotic Donor Hepatectomy

The most common types of donor hepatectomy are right lobe, left lobe, and left lateral section resections. Most centers accept 30% as the minimum future liver remnant volume in the donor to allow for adequate regeneration. The differences between a donor hepatectomy and a hepatectomy for pathology are shown in Fig.34.1.
Three-dimensional reconstruction of a potential donor’s liver imaging is useful to detect (1) volumes of graft and remnant and (2) aberrant vascular anatomy, (3) gauge the length of hepatic artery and portal vein that will be available for recipient anastomosis and (4) the number of bile ducts that will need to be anastomosed, and
Living Donor Hepatectomy
•Resected lobe preserved for recipient implantation
• Adequate size for recipient GBWR ≥ 0.8
•Remnant has to be adequate for donor
•Dissection of HA, PV and HV branches to lobe
• Accurate transection line reduces bleeding, aims for graft & remnant volumes as predicted
•Ideally NO inflow or outflow control during transection
• Segmental HVs may need preservation and reconstruction
• Careful extraction of graft in a timely manner to reduce
warm ischemic time
•Preoperative workup more extensive
•3D liver anatomy reconstruction
•Operating on a healthy person who wants to save recipient’s life

Hepatectomy for pathology
• Resected lobe goes to pathology
•Remnant size important
•Option of Glissonian approach
•Margins important in transection
• Both inflow and outflow can be taken prior to transection
• Segmental HVs ligated without issues
•No time or physical constraints to extraction of specimen
•Standard workup
•Patient needs resection for own cure and survival

(5) evaluate segmental hepatic venous drainage of the lobe to be donated (particu­larly important for right lobe grafts) to determine the need for reconstruction prior to implantation. Figure34.2 demonstrates an example of a 3-D reconstruction of a donor liver created from a CT and MRI of the abdomen.
Donor safety is paramount in any LDLT, and informed consent is obtained prior to evaluation and surgery. Risks of a donor hepatectomy include but are not limited to bleeding, biliary complications, infectious complications, post-hepatectomy liver failure, and thromboembolic disease. Overall reported complication rates were 25–30% in right donor hepatectomy and 15–20% in left-sided grafts [810]. Mortality rates for LDLT in the United States has been quoted at up to 0.5% for right lobe donors and 0.1% for left-sided donors, though overall death rates appeared to have decreased in the last decade.
As living donors are healthy individuals willing to accept risks in order to save another’s life, their well-being should be optimized. About 15% of donors reported donation-related issues including hernia (22%) and scar or adhesion problems (9%) and 22% could not perform physical activities as well as they did preoperatively, mainly due to limitations of abdominal wall strength. In a post-donation quality-of­life analysis, incisional discomfort was the most common symptom reported [11,
12]. This has spurred efforts by living donor teams to explore minimally invasive
approaches to donor hepatectomy.
The rst laparoscopic donor left lateral sectionectomy was reported in 2002 and the rst laparoscopic right donor hepatectomy in 2013. The largest multicenter series from Korea reported a 10% overall and 4.9% serious complication rates. The emergence of the robotic approach in liver surgery prompted expansion of this modality in donor hepatectomy; the rst robotic right donor hepatectomy was reported in 2012 (Chicago) [13], and rst series in 2016 (Taiwan) [14]. Since then, larger series have been reported by a handful of highly specialized centers [15, 16]. Reported overall and serious complications rates have been better or comparable to open series.

Patient Selection
After completion of the standard evaluation process, determination of the suitability of the robotic approach is inuenced by the experience of the surgical team and the anatomy of the graft. At the beginning of a center’s experience with a robotic approach for donor hepatectomy, avoiding donors with previous upper abdominal laparotomy may be prudent. Straightforward graft anatomy should be selected (sin­gle hepatic artery and portal vein and few segmental veins requiring reconstruction) for right donor hepatectomy. Once the learning curve is achieved, these criteria may be relaxed. Liver anesthesia management should integrate enhanced recovery pro­tocols in uid management and low central venous pressure. Most living donors, who tend to be younger and healthy individuals, qualify for many aspects of an enhanced recovery protocol [17].
Patient Positioning andPort Placement
Positioning
Patients are placed in a split-leg position to enable the bedside surgeon to stand between the patient’s legs (Fig.34.3). One arm may be abducted to enable access by

anesthesiologist to intra-arterial and intravenous cannulas during the operation. All pressure points are padded, and the patient is secured to the operating table at the hip and chest areas. Both legs are secured to the leg extensions and footrests are used to prevent slippage during positioning. Once all ports are placed, the patient is positioned at a 10-degree reverse Trendelenburg, and a slight right-side up rotation for donor right hepatectomy.
Port Placement
Recommended port placements for right versus left donor hepatectomy or left lat­eral donor sectionectomy are shown in Fig.34.4a, b, respectively. The third arm is a right-handed instrument. Two laparoscopic assistant ports (12mm and 5mm) are inserted in the lower abdomen; their tracts are slanted toward the upper abdominal surgery. The grafts are retrieved from a Pfannenstiel incision. Pneumoperitoneum pressure is kept at or below 12mm Hg.
