Core Tip
Core Tip: Due to the accumulated experience of laparoscopic hepatectomy in living donor liver transplantation, laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy (L-LLS) has been acknowledged as a standard practice in pediatric living donor liver transplantation. The single-port laparoscopic technique has been used in a variety of abdominal surgeries, especially the single-port L-LLS. We report the first case of L-LLS in pediatric laparoscopic living donor liver transplantation by the single-port approach, focusing on the surgical procedure and how to achieve feasible manipulation due to the challenge of little operative space through the transumbilical port.
