Split-liver transplantation has evolved significantly, improving graft utilization for pediatric and adult recipients. While reducing waiting lists, living-donor procedures raise concerns about donor safety.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Transplant Surgery
  • Organ Donation

Background:

  • Split-liver transplantation, introduced 15 years ago, initially involved discarding portions of the liver graft.
  • Early methods addressed pediatric needs but were inefficient for adult waiting lists.
  • Surgical advancements led to ex vivo and in situ splitting techniques to maximize graft utilization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution and impact of split-liver transplantation techniques.
  • To assess the benefits and challenges of partial liver grafts.
  • To highlight the development towards living-donor liver transplantation.

Main Methods:

  • Historical review of split-liver transplantation techniques, from whole graft reduction to in situ splitting.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Comparison of ex vivo and in situ liver splitting methods.
  • Examination of the transition to living-donor liver transplantation.

    • Main Results:

    • Split-liver techniques have dramatically reduced pediatric liver transplant waiting lists.
    • In situ splitting improved graft outcomes and enabled living-donor procedures.
    • Living-donor liver transplantation, particularly right-lobe grafts for adults, has increased organ availability.

    Conclusions:

    • Partial liver transplantation has significantly alleviated organ shortages for both pediatric and adult patients.
    • Living-donor liver donation presents a viable option but carries significant risks for donors.
    • Further research is needed to optimize donor safety in living-donor liver transplantation.
