The purpose of donor evaluation for adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is to discover medical conditions that could increase the donor postoperative risk of complications and to determine whether the donor can yield a suitable graft for the recipient. We report the outcomes of
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
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
