Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) expands organ availability but requires careful donor management. Understanding LDLT trends improves donor safety and recipient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Transplant Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) significantly expands the donor pool for liver transplantation (LT).
  • Despite benefits, living donation involves substantial physical and psychological commitment from donors.
  • High expectations exist for both donor well-being and recipient success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated overview of living liver donation trends.
  • To cover key aspects including donor selection, evaluation, surgical procedures, and outcomes.
  • To consolidate insights from extensive clinical experience and recent literature.

Main Methods:

  • Review of personal experience with nearly 200 living donor liver transplants.
  • Comprehensive analysis of international literature published in the last 7 years.

  • Focus on donor selection, surgical techniques, morbidity, mortality, ethics, and psychological impact.

    • Main Results:

    • LDLT is a critical strategy to overcome cadaveric graft shortages.
    • Comprehensive evaluation and management are crucial for donor safety.
    • Recipient outcomes are closely linked to donor management and selection.

    Conclusions:

    • Detailed knowledge of LDLT aspects is essential for optimizing the procedure.
    • Further improvements in donor safety and recipient outcomes are achievable.
    • Continued research and experience sharing in LDLT are vital for the field.
