BACKGROUND: Availability of suitable donor organs has always limited the number of liver
transplantations performed. Use of marginal donor organs is an alternative to overcome …

Liver transplantation from living donors developed rapidly in the last decade of the twentieth
century and is now an important option in the treatment of patients with end stage and/or …

The need for the cadaver organ for liver transplant is increasing. Extended criteria/marginal
donors can increase the donor pool significantly as ideal donors are very few. The …

Liver transplantation has become a victim of its own success in that there are no longer
enough suitable livers for transplantation while at the same time the indications for …

Objectives: Liver retransplant is considered the only hope for patients with irreversible graft

The use of marginal donors is well accepted by most centers for emergency situations, but
there is debate on their use for patients on regular waiting lists. We report our experience of …

Liver transplantation is the treatment of choice for end stage liver disease, but availability of
liver grafts is still the main limitation to its wider use. Extended criteria donors (ECD) are …

Liver transplantation (LT) remains the only therapeutic option offering gold standard
treatment for end-stage liver disease (ESLD) and acute liver failure (ALF), as well as for …

Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) between adults inevitably implies two potential
risks associated with a small-for-size graft for the recipient and small remnant liver for the …

Volume mismatch is encountered when a single live donor cannot provide adequate graft
volume to the recipient with a remnant liver volume which is safe for donation. Our objective …
