โœฆ Synopsis

A shortage of organs for liver transplantation has encouraged the development of advanced surgical strategies to increase the donor pool. We present a technical strategy that combines the established techniques of split liver transplantation and left lateral segment donation from living donors for adult recipients. This strategy could provide an additional source of organs for liver transplantation.

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

In 1993, the Shinshu Group performed the first successful adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). During the first 10 years of LDLT, many technical innovations have been reported. The major limitation of LDLT for adult recipients is the size of the graft. To overcome the problem, s

This article examines the scientific, technical, and administrative barriers to splitting donor livers for use in two adults. The main scientific barrier is that cadaveric donor livers at their current level of postoperative function are not sufficiently large to support life in two adult recipients

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
