In situ right posterior sectionectomy during liver procurement based on preoperative 3D planning to prevent extreme large-for-size syndrome in adult-to-adult liver transplantation: a case report

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Background: right posterior segmental resection (iRPS). Case Description: right posterior graft sectionectomy was performed, and the reduced-size graft was successfully implanted in the recipient. The post-transplant course was uneventful. At the 12-month follow-up, the patient had an excellent quality of life, and no signs of tumor recurrence. Conclusions: In situ right posterior graft sectionectomy is a feasible and effective strategy for preventing LFSS, especially if there is a size discrepancy between the donor liver anteroposterior dimensions and the recipient's lower right hemithorax. Accurate preoperative surgical planning is the key element in the success of the proposed size-reduction strategies.
