Abstract: With the emergence, development and innovation of minimally invasive surgical and laparoscopic technologies, minimally invasive technology has been gradually applied and promoted in different fields of surgery, and surgical indications have been constantly expanded. Robot-assisted surgical system has become a novel research hotspot due to its precision and minimal invasiveness. At present, robot-assisted surgical system can be applied in complex tumor surgery. How to apply robot-assisted surgery in the field of liver transplantation, especially in the living donor liver hepatectomy, has become a new research direction, which is also a challenge facing multiple scholars. In this article, the advantages of robot-assisted surgery, current status and major difficulties of robot living donor liver hepatectomy were reviewed, and the future of robot living donor liver hepatectomy was predicted, aiming to provide reference for promoting the application of robot-assisted surgery in clinical liver transplantation.
