Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has become a well-recognized treatment modality for patients with end-stage liver disease. Arterial reconstruction during LDLT is perhaps the most important aspect of the grafting procedure. Although microsurgical hepatic artery reconstruction has become the
## Abstract Reconstruction of the hepatic artery (HA) is challenging, because there are technical difficulties. Especially, it is difficult to repair the posterior wall. In 2006, we reported an experimental study of the posterior wall first continuous suturing combined with the interrupted suturing
In living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT), reconstruction of the hepatic artery is challenging because the recipient artery is located deep in the abdominal cavity and the operating field is limited. Also, the hepatic artery of the graft is short and the recipient artery is occasionally damaged.
