Complex Reconstruction of Right-Lobe Grafts on the Bench: Portal Vein, Anterior Sector Hepatic Veins, Inferior Hepatic Veins and Multiple Bile Ducts.

Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) employing right-lobe (RL) grafts has become indispensable amid limited deceased donor graft availability. RL grafts, while smaller, offer outcomes comparable with deceased donor grafts, prompting a surge in global RL LDLT. However, bench surgery in LDLT requires meticulous preparation to minimize warm ischaemia time and ensure optimal inflow and outflow reconstruction.

Minimizing Incision in Living Donor Liver Transplantation: Initial Experience and Comparative Analysis of Upper Midline Incision in 115 Recipients.

Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) needs "Mercedes Benz" or "J-shaped" incision, causing short and long-term complications. An upper midline incision (UMI) is less invasive alternative but technically challenging. Reporting UMI for recipients in LDLT vs.

Hilar Anatomy in 3035 Living Liver Donors: A Novel Classification for Donor Surgery and Suitability, Hepatic Surgeries, and Hepatobiliary Interventions.

Background: This study examines the vascular and biliary variations in 3035 liver donors. We propose a novel classification of hepatic arteries, portal veins, and bile ducts and clinically relevant donor classification.

Methods: Preoperative imaging and operative details of 3035 donors from 2005 to 2020 were reviewed.

Effect of preoperative biliary drainage on outcome of classical pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Aim: To investigate the role of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) in the outcome of classical pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Methods: A 10-year retrospective data analysis was performed on patients (n = 48) undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy from March 1994 to March 2004 in department of surgery at SMS medical college, Jaipur, India. Demographic variables, details of preoperative stenting, operative procedure and post operative complications were noted.
