چکیده
Purpose: In living donor liver transplantation, it is preferred that the ratio of weight graft to recipient (GRWR) be higher than 0.8%. We aimed compare recipients with a GRWR greater 0.8% and those small regarding post-transplant complications outcomes.
 Materials Methods: Data patients who had undergone transplant surgery in Istinye University Hospital Liver Transplant Unit between January 2017 July 2022 were reviewed. The study group classified as GRWR1% (Group 3) compared clinical data, complications, mortality rates.
 Results: from 220 donors included. mean age was 53.6 (18-79). comparative analysis Group 1 (n=29), 2 (n=70), 3 (n=121) revealed significant differences concerning rates bile leak length hospital stay (p=0.033, p

Small-for-size graft in liver transplantation.
Controversies on small-for-size (SFS) graft in liver transplantation have evolved in parallel with the history of living donor liver transplantation for adults. It is true that the liver regenerates rapidly within a limited threshold. But 'normal' liver weight itself is variable and the influences of variable liver graft and extrahepatic factors are not negligible in pathological condition. Cli...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of graft size on recipients in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) to establish a clinical guideline for the minimum requirement. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Although the minimum graft size required for LDLT has been reported to be 30% to 40% of graft volume (GV)/standard liver volume (SLV), the safety limit of the graft size was unknown. METHODS A total o...
متن کاملValidation of graft and standard liver size predictions in right liver living donor liver transplantation
PURPOSE To assess the accuracy of a formula derived from 159 living liver donors to estimate the liver size of a normal subject: standard liver weight (g) = 218 + body weight (kg) × 12.3 + 51 (if male). Standard liver volume (SLV) is attained by a conversion factor of 1.19 mL/g. METHODS The total liver volume (TLV) of each of the subsequent consecutive 126 living liver donors was determined u...

AIM To analyze the outcomes of living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using left-lobe (LL) or right-lobe (RL) small-for-size (SFS) grafts. METHODS Prospectively collected data of adult patients who underwent LDLT at our hospital in the period from January 2003 to December 2013 were reviewed. The patients were divided into the RL-LDLT group and the LL-LDLT group. The two groups were compare...
متن کاملLive donor liver transplantation.
With ever-increasing demand for liver replacement, supply of organs is the limiting factor and a significant number of patients die while waiting. Live donor liver transplantation has emerged as an important option for many patients, particularly small pediatric patients and those adults that are disadvantaged by the current deceased donor allocation system. Ideally there would be no need to su...
