摘要To the Editor:We read with great interest the article by Schulze et al.enti-tled"Robotic surgery and liver transplantation:A single-center ex-perience of 501 robotic donor hepatectomies"[1].It is the first single-center report including over 500 fully robotic donor hepa-tectomies.For the donors,the overall complication rate was 6.4％(n=32).Postoperative self-limiting bleeding(0.4％)and bile leak-age from the resection plane(1.8％)were rare,none of which re-quired 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％)complica-tions.Through this study,the authors demonstrated that robotic surgery is relatively mature in donor hepatectomies.
