We have previously reported that a graft volume (GV) ΟΎ 30% of the recipient's standard liver volume (SLV) can meet the recipient's metabolic demands. Here we report our experience with adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation using left side grafts Ο½ 35% of the recipient's SLV. Of 143 adult
We read with interest the article by Campsen et al. 1 describing the outcomes of adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for acute liver failure (ALF) in the United States. They described 2 concerns in applying LDLT for ALF: appropriate donor evaluation during the rapid evolution of
For acute liver failure (ALF), living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) may reduce waiting time and provide better timing compared to deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT). However, there are concerns that a partial graft would result in reduced survival of critically ill LDLT recipients and
Despite refinements in surgical techniques for liver transplantation, liver size disparity remains one of the most common problems in pediatric patients. Optimal liver graft size remains unknown and the volume of diseased liver in the recipient is not indicative of the volume (standard liver volume
