Abstrakt: The article discusses small-for-size liver graft syndrome (SFSS) in pediatric liver transplantation. SFSS is a condition characterized by primary portal hyper-perfusion, massive ascites, and coagulopathy, which can lead to graft failure or other complications. The article questions the diagnosis of SFSS in a specific case and emphasizes the importance of strict criteria for diagnosing SFSS, including a small-for-size graft, signs of portal hyper-perfusion, and ruling out other complications. The article also highlights the need to consider the ratio of standard liver volume to recipient weight in pediatric liver transplantation. [Extracted from the article]
