✦ Synopsis

Full-right/full-left splitting of the liver offers a chance to overcome the severe shortage of donor organs. During this procedure, the splitting surgeons are always faced with the question of how to share the middle hepatic vein (MHV), since this vein drains parts of both halves of the liver. Consequently, we developed a procedure that splits the MHV, thus creating an MHV on both grafts. In this short article, we report on this splitting technique and our first initial experience.

We evaluated the anatomic variations of the middle right hepatic vein (MRHV) and inferior right hepatic vein (IRHV) and their clinical application to the possibility of right subtotal hepatectomy. In 400 of normal livers studied with ultrasound, the IRHV was found to drain segment 6 of the liver and

A right lateral sector graft (RLSG) was devised to overcome graft-size disparity in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). When the RLSG has a middle hepatic vein (MHV) tributary, which drains a significant part of segment VI, the MHV tributary (V6) should be reconstructed to avoid congestion of

The right lobe liver graft has become the workhorse of adult-to-adult live donor liver transplantation. Donor right hepatectomy is feasible only because of the immense regenerative ability of the liver. The long-term biological consequences of this very major donor procedure on the donor however are
