This situation is mainly due to the lack of donors with adequate size, being particularly critical in patients weighing less than 10 kg. When the ratio of graft size to recipient weight is greater than 5%, graft reduction may be necessary to prevent large-for-size syndrome (LFS). LFS is characterized by inadequate tissue oxygenation and graft compression; it is associated with vascular and biliary complications and accelerated acute cellular rejection.1,2 SN - PB - McGraw Hill CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accesssurgery.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1180113710 ER -
