Popis: | Since the first living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) was performed by Raia et al. in 1988, LDLT has become a new hope for patients in countries with insufficient cadaveric organ pool, such as Turkey. However, the use of a partial liver allograft in LDLT and the harvesting of hepatic arteries (HA) with a relatively small diameter creates pose technical difficulties in terms of HA reconstruction. A graft HA and a recipient HA cannot be directly anastomosed in some undesirable situations. |
