Living donation minimizes cold ischemia time and preservation injury and eliminates the uncertainty and complications of being on a waitlist. Optimal timing of the operation is possible, and patients who otherwise might not receive a deceased donation are given a chance to benefit and reduce the time on the waitlist. Also, a left lateral section can be achieved from a split liver of a good deceased donor. Actually, the left lateral sectionectomy performed for pediatric living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is a gold-standard procedure with a significantly low morbidity and mortality rate for the donor.1 SN - PB - McGraw Hill CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accesssurgery.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1180112966 ER -
