To address liver transplant donor shortages, split liver transplantation (SLT) and living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) are advancing. These techniques maximize organ utilization, potentially reducing waitlist mortality for liver disease patients.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Transplant Surgery
  • Organ Donation

Background:

  • Orthotopic liver transplantation (LT) is the primary treatment for end-stage liver disease.
  • Surgical and immunosuppressive advancements have improved LT success rates.
  • A critical shortage of donor organs leads to up to 20% mortality for patients awaiting LT.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore advancements in split liver transplantation (SLT) techniques.
  • To discuss the role of living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) in addressing organ scarcity.
  • To evaluate the combined potential of SLT and LDLT in reducing LT waitlist mortality.

Main Methods:

  • Focus on in-situ splitting techniques over ex-situ splitting for improved graft preservation.
  • Introduction and discussion of living-donor segmental LT.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Systematic combination of SLT and LDLT strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • SLT enables one donor organ to benefit two recipients (adult/child or two adults), creating a net gain.
    • In-situ splitting offers superior graft quality compared to ex-situ methods.
    • Living-donor segmental LT represents a significant advancement in organ utilization.

    Conclusions:

    • SLT and LDLT are crucial innovations to overcome donor organ limitations in liver transplantation.
    • The progression from ex-situ to in-situ splitting enhances graft viability.
    • Combining SLT and LDLT strategies holds promise for substantially decreasing mortality rates on the liver transplant waiting list.
