Preoperative evaluation of liver volume in living donor liver transplantation
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the difference between the preoperative estimated volume and the actual intraoperative graft volume determined in donor right hepatectomies and to evaluate the possible effect of age, gender, and body mass index on the difference. METHODS A total of 225 donor hepatectomies performed at the center between 2016 and 2017 were...
متن کاملAdult living donor liver imaging.
Adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is increasingly used for the treatment of end-stage liver disease. The three most commonly harvested grafts for LDLT are left lateral segment, left lobe, and right lobe grafts. The left lateral segment graft, which includes Couinaud's segments II and III, is usually used for pediatric recipients or small size recipients. Most of the adult recipien...
متن کاملEvaluation of the donor liver for living donor liver transplantation.
Key Points 1. Accurate assessment of the donor liver is an important component of the living donor liver evaluation and is critical to ensure a successful outcome for both donor and recipient. 2. Liver biochemistry tests, viral hepatitis serological tests, tests to exclude chronic liver disease, and volumetric computed tomographic or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the liver are performed ro...
متن کاملCT evaluation of living liver donor
We evaluated whether donor computed tomography (CT) with a combined technique of lower tube voltage and iterative reconstruction (IR) can provide sufficient preoperative information for liver transplantation.We retrospectively reviewed CT of 113 liver donor candidates. Dynamic contrast-enhanced CT of the liver was performed on the following protocol: protocol A (n = 70), 120-kVp with filtered b...
متن کاملRadiology Rounds - September 2008 - Imaging for Pre-Transplant Evaluation of Living Donor Liver Transplantation
Liver transplantation, first introduced 40 years, is the recognized treatment of choice for patients suffering from end-stage liver disease, including documented fulminant hepatic failure (FHF), decompensated cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma within defined criteria. Unfortunately, the demand for liver transplantation is greater than the supply of cadaveric livers. There are approximately ...
