Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Transplant Surgery
  • Organ Donation

Background:

  • Living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) expansion is limited by donor safety concerns in Western countries.
  • Technical advancements and comparable outcomes support left lobe (LL) LDLT.
  • Prioritizing donor safety is crucial for increasing LDLT procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the potential of left lobe (LL) LDLT as a primary option for liver transplantation.
  • To assess the feasibility of shifting LDLT risks from donor to recipient.
  • To review the long-term outcomes of LL LDLT compared to cadaveric liver transplantation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of technical refinements in LL LDLT procedures.
  • Analysis of complication rates in LL LDLT versus other LDLT approaches.
  • Comparison of long-term graft and patient survival rates between LL LDLT and cadaveric liver transplantation.

Main Results:

  • LL LDLT demonstrates a lower risk profile for donors compared to other LDLT methods.
  • Outcomes of LL LDLT are comparable to those of cadaveric liver transplantation.
  • Graft inflow modification in LL LDLT, when necessary, ensures favorable long-term results.

Conclusions:

  • LL LDLT is a viable and potentially preferred option for increasing liver transplantation rates.
  • Shifting the risk burden to the recipient is achievable with LL LDLT.
  • LL LDLT, particularly with appropriate graft modifications, offers excellent long-term outcomes comparable to cadaveric transplants.
