Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) constitutes the majority of liver transplants in Asia and advancements in LDLT techniques have expanded the range of allografts beyond the commonly used right lobe (RL). This review provides a comprehensive overview of lesser-known variants of allografts and LDLT techniques which include right posterior sector grafts (RPSG), dual-lobe liver transplantation (DLLT), auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation (APOLT), and extended left lobe grafts with caudate concentrating on the technical aspects, current evidence, and their indications in contemporary practice of LDLT. The first section examines RPSGs, focussing on their potential as an alternative to RL grafts particularly when volumetric studies indicate a larger right posterior sector in donors.

However, various environmental factors significantly affect their energy consumption rate and overall performance, with ambient temperature being the critical one. This study investigates the impact of ambient temperature on energy consumption rate and performance of electric two-wheelers by utilizing real-world driving data.

Objective: To compare early patency and outcomes of single outflow (SOT) and double outflow (DOT) reconstruction in right lobe living donor liver transplantation (RtLDLT) in a multicenter open-labelled randomized controlled trial.
Summary Background Data: Optimum graft venous outflow is a key factor in determining outcomes of RtLDLT. There is no data directly comparing SOT and DOT technique of graft outflow reconstruction.
. Neutrophil-rich hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an extremely uncommon subtype of HCC with an overall incidence of <1%. Neutrophil-rich HCC shows poor cellular differentiation and sarcomatoid transformation in most patients.
