Abstract: Minimally invasive surgery plays a crucial role in modern medicine. With advan-tages such as less trauma, precise operation, intraoperative minimal bleeding, and rapid postopera-tive recovery, minimally invasive procedures have been increasingly applied in the field of liver transplantation in recent years. This include techniques such as small incision living donor hepatec-tomy through an upper abdominal midline incision, laparoscopic‑assisted living donor hepatectomy, pure laparoscopic living donor hepatectomy, and robotic living donor hepatectomy. Since professor Cherqui from France firstly reported the total laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy in living donors in 2002, the application of minimally invasive technology in living donor liver transplantation has become increasingly widespread. Based on this, so as to guide the more standardized, effective, and safe implementation of minimally invasive liver donor hepatectomy across the country, in August 2023, Branch of Organ Transplant of China Medical Association, combined with Branch of Organ Transplant Physicians of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organize national liver transplan-tation experts to jointly formulate the Chinese Guidelines for Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques in Living Donor Liver Transplantation (2024 Edition). This is to provide scientific guidance and reference for surgeons performing minimally invasive surgery on living liver donors in China.
