AB Transplantation  from  a  living  donor  (LDLT)  is  a  modern  treatment  option  for  patients  with  end-stage  liver  disease  even  though  deceased  donor  liver  transplantation  (DDLT)  remains  the  standard  of  care.  Nowadays,  there  is  a  3-fold  number  of  patients  on  waiting  lists  than  those  who  have  been  transplanted.  As  a  result,  this  need  for  more  grafts  has  led  to  the  search  for  other  options  than  DDLT.  LDLT  was  first  performed  in  children  in  1989,  using  a  left  lateral  lobe;  transplant  from  an  adult  to  an  adult  using  the  right  lobe  was  first  introduced  in  1998  in  Asia.
