Abstract:
In living-donor liver transplantation, one of the tactics of hepatic vein reconstruction is to obtain a long and wide venous orifice. The short hepatic vein should be reconstructed in the left liver graft with a caudate lobe. In the modified right liver graft, the tributaries of the middle hepatic veins should be reconstructed if there are no communicating veins between the middle and right hepatic veins.
