AB Procurement  of  the  left  lateral  section  (Couinaud  segment  2  and  3)  is  usually  appropriate  for  infants  and  small  children  who  need  a  liver  transplantation.  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
