AB Living-donor  liver  transplantation  (LDLT)  using  a  left  lobe  (LL)  graft  was  first  successfully  performed  in  adults  in  1993.1  Adult-to-adult  LDLT  and  the  use  of  LL  grafts  (S2-3-4  ±  1)  was  associated  with  a  high  incidence  of  small-for-size  syndrome  (SFSS).  This  led  to  the  development  of  new  strategies,  such  as  increasing  the  size  of  the  LL  by  adding  the  caudate  lobe  and  the  middle  hepatic  vein  (MHV),  the  application  of  graft  inflow  modulation  (GIM)  techniques  to  reduce  the  portal  venous  flow  and  pressure  in  the  small  graft,  the  use  of  right  lobe  grafts  instead  of  left,  and  using  a  dual  graft  from  2  donors.
