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) 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
