In Situ Split Liver Transplantation for 2 Adult Recipients: A Single-Center Experience

Abstract: BackgroundSplit liver transplantation (SLT) for 2 adult patients by in situ splitting is rarely reported. This study analyzed the outcomes of SLT for 2 adult recipients at a single center.Material/MethodsFrom 2003 to 2014, we performed 16 adult SLTs from 8 deceased donors using in situ splitting technique. We investigated the results of SLT and compared the outcomes of SLT with those of 393 cases of primary whole liver transplantation (WLT).ResultsAll SLT donors were male. Eight recipients received right liver… Show more
