Anatomical limits in living donor liver transplantation
Korean Journal of Transplantation, 2022 We review the anatomical limits of living donor liver transplantation. Graft size is the fundamental challenge in partial liver transplantation. Insufficient graft size leads to small-for-size syndrome, graft failure, and graft loss.
