    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and the clinical efficacy of right lobe including middle hepatic vein in adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation. METHOD: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 30 adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation using right lobe including middle hepatic vein performed in our hospital from Feb. 2007 to Nov. 2007. RESULTS: The right lobes weighed 540-1058 g (median 708 g). The remnant liver volumes were over 30% of the total liver volume in all donors. No perioperative death was noted for among donors and recipients. Complications were recorded and cured in 4 donors (13.3%) and 7 recipients (23.3%). All the donors and the recipients were followed up for 2-8 months (median 5 months), during which no donor died and 1 recipient died from aspergillus infection 4 months after operation. CONCLUSION: Adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation using right lobe graft including middle hepatic vein is a safe and effective technique.
