In general, for a liver transplantation to be successful, the graft size should cover 30%-40% of the expected liver volume or 0.8%-1.0% of the body weight of the recipient. 1,2 However, small-for-size-graft syndrome depends not only on the graft size but also on the recipient's preoperative conditio
Adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation (AA-LDLT) is an established treatment option for selected patients with end-stage liver disease. However, its widespread application is limited by the liver volume that can be safely resected from a living donor because a sufficient volume is also re
Adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation (AA-LDLT) has better outcomes when a graft weight to recipient weight ratio (GW/RW) > 0.8 is selected. A smaller GW/RW may result in small-for-size syndrome (SFSS). Portal inflow modulation seems to effectively prevent SFSS. Donor right hepatectomy i
Adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation is an accepted treatment option for patients with end-stage liver disease. It is generally acknowledged that a graft weight to recipient body weight ratio > 0.8 is required in order to prevent the development of small-for-size syndrome. Size mismatch
The problem of graft size is one of the critical factors limiting the expansion of adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). We compared the outcome of LDLT recipients who received grafts with a graft-to-recipient weight ratio (GRWR) < 0.8% or a GRWR 0.8%, and we analyzed the risk fa
