  • Title: Living donor liver transplantation using a left liver extended to right anterior sector.
    Author: Suh KS, Suh SW, Lee JM, Choi YR, Yi NJ, Lee KW.
    Journal: Transpl Int; 2015 Jun; 28(6):765-9. PubMed ID: 25778826.
    Abstract:
    In living donor liver transplantations, right liver grafts have been commonly used to meet the metabolic demands of the recipient. However, a small left remnant liver volume sometimes limits its use due to donor safety concerns. Here, we report an innovative living donor hepatectomy using a left liver extended to the right anterior sector (segments 2-5 and 8), which can be considered for donors who are unsuited for right liver donation.
