Abstrakt: Living related liver transplantation (LRT) was introduced as a response to the shortage of donor organs that has existed for small children. Results were promising in the initial experience, with a one-year patient survival of 80 and a graft survival of 75. Since the completion of the protocol, LRT has been considered routinely in the management of children in our center. We present here our experience with 45 consecutive transplants in which LRT accounts for 40 of grafts with an overall patient survival of 90.
