Preoperative evaluation of liver volume in living donor liver transplantation

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the difference between the preoperative estimated volume and the actual intraoperative graft volume determined in donor right hepatectomies and to evaluate the possible effect of age, gender, and body mass index on the difference. METHODS A total of 225 donor hepatectomies performed at the center between 2016 and 2017 were...

Recurrence of fatty liver disease following liver transplantation for NAFLD-related cirrhosis: Current status and challenges
