Liver resections for liver transplantations

World J Gastrointest Surg. 2010 Mar 27;2(3):51-6. doi: 10.4240/wjgs.v2.i3.51.

Abstract

Split-Liver and living-related donor liver transplantation are the newest and both technically and ethically most challenging developments in liver transplantation and have contributed to a reduction in donor shortage. We report the technical aspects of surgical procedures performed to achieve a partial graft from a cadaveric and a live donor.
