A remarkable innovation has happened in the way a liver donor is done in recent times and now it is perform donor surgeries without the visible scar in the upper part of abdomen. This is hence also referred to as cosmetic donor surgery. Donated liver is taken out through a small incision in the pubic (or bikini area) and hence there is absolutely no weakening of the upper abdominal wall. Donor undergoing minimally invasive donor surgery not only recovers faster and are pain-free but also are relieved of the long term wound-related problems like ugly scars, hernias, pain and numbness in the lower part of the abdomen. There is negligible disfigurement of body cosmesis and hence this results in presumed better long-term psychological and cosmetic outcome.
