Author Information and AffiliationsExcerpt
Following the success of liver transplantation in children from living donors, many transplant centers have begun performing the procedure in adults. Living donor transplantation represents a major advance in the efforts to relieve the growing national shortage of cadaveric organs.
Donation to adults usually requires a right hepatic lobectomy, a procedure that has been associated with greater morbidity compared to the left lateral segmentectomy typically used for donation to children. A variety of complications related to right hepatic lobe donation have been described, including deaths. However, the frequency and nature of complications are incompletely understood. Thus, the purpose of this evidence report is to summarize the available evidence regarding the outcomes of donors who participated in right lobe donation for adult LDLT
