## Abstract ## Purpose To determine whether quantitative and qualitative analysis of intraoperative Doppler sonography data are predictive of vascular complications after livingβrelated donor liver transplantation. ## Methods Intraoperative sonograms of 81 transplanted livers (right lobe in 61 p
Duct-to-duct biliary reconstruction has been introduced in adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). In right-lobe grafts, however, the presence of two or three separated bile duct orifices is not rare and makes an alternative approach for reconstruction necessary. We used the cystic duct for
Biliary complications remain a significant problem following liver transplantation in the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) era. We hypothesized that donor, recipient, and technical variables may differentially affect anastomotic biliary complications in MELD era liver transplants. We reviewe
