“…[13] Because of the limited supply of properly sized whole-liver transplants, most of them receive reduced-size allografts with associated complications. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] We believe that the use of the LLS from a pediatric donor can effectively address this problem. In this study, the lowest weight of the LLS in the SLT ≤ 25 kg group was 90.0 g, while the average weight was 159.0 g; the lowest weight of the recipient was 4.8 kg, and the average weight was 6.6 kg.…”

“…Among candidates for liver transplantation, the primary reason for the highest pretransplantation mortality in low‐weight pediatric patients is the difficulty of obtaining an organ of suitable size 13. Because of the limited supply of properly sized whole‐liver transplants, most of them receive reduced‐size allografts with associated complications 14–20. We believe that the use of the LLS from a pediatric donor can effectively address this problem.…”
