A right lateral sector graft (RLSG) was devised to overcome graft-size disparity in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). When the RLSG has a middle hepatic vein (MHV) tributary, which drains a significant part of segment VI, the MHV tributary (V6) should be reconstructed to avoid congestion of

Major short hepatic veins (SHV) are indicated for vascular reconstruction to prevent excessive hepatic venous congestion of right liver grafts. As separate anastomoses of multiple small SHVs are vulnerable to stenosis or regeneration-related torsion, a conjoined large opening of SHVs may be better t
The incidence of clinically significant right hepatic vein (RHV) stenosis after adult living donor liver transplantation has been higher than expected. In this study, an assessment of the risk factors for the development of RHV stenosis in this context was undertaken. Hepatic anatomy, surgical techn
Cryopreserved iliac vein grafts (IVGs) have often been used for reconstruction of middle hepatic vein (MHV) branches in right liver grafts, but their storage pool has often been exhausted in our institution due to the low incidence of deceased donor organ procurement. To overcome this shortage of IV
Preservation of the middle hepatic vein (MHV) for a right split liver transplantation (SLT) in an adult recipient is still controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the graft and patient outcomes after liver transplantation (LT) using a right split graft, according to the type of venous d
