Abstract

Split-liver transplantation is now established as a safe and successful technique that extends the donor pool for patients of all ages and thus reduces waiting-list mortality, although it can not solve the problem of organ shortage alone. Split-liver transplantation additionally represents an alternative to living liver transplantation without a potential risk of harm to the donor. Careful selection of donor and recipient, high technical and surgical skill, and experience are necessary to achieve results comparable to those of whole organ transplantation.
