  • Title: Living donor liver transplantation with hyperreduced left lateral segments.
    Author: Kasahara M, Fukuda A, Yokoyama S, Sato S, Tanaka H, Kuroda T, Honna T.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2008 Aug; 43(8):1575-8. PubMed ID: 18675660.
    Abstract:
    Liver transplantation is now an established technique to treat children with end-stage liver disease. Implantation of left lateral segment grafts (Couidaud's segments II and III) can be a problem in small infants because of a large-for-size graft. Reduced left lateral segmental liver transplantation has been recently introduced for small infants to mitigate the problem of large-for-size graft. Further reduction of the left lateral segment graft increases the possibility of supplying an adequate hyperreduced left lateral segment graft as an alternative surgical technique. We report 3 cases of our experience of transplantation using hyperreduced left lateral segment grafts from living donors.
