Abstract
Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has been, and continues to be, an excellent solution for many patients worldwide. Although the procedure poses significant risks for the liver donor due to its complexity, the challenge of obtaining cadaveric donors in time to prevent mortality on the waiting list makes this type of liver transplantation (LT) very common in many countries.
