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
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
Congenital absence of the portal vein (CAPV) with an extrahepatic portosystemic shunt is a rare malformation; the completely absent type, Abernethy malformation type I, is especially rare.
