Kinetics of liver regeneration in donors after living donor liver transplantation: A retrospective analysis of "2/3rd partial hepatectomy" model at 3 months.

Background/aim: Right lobe living donor (2/3rd partial hepatectomy) model is the best way to accurately study liver regeneration process in human beings. We aimed to study the kinetics of liver regeneration after 2/3rd partial hepatectomy in donors.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained volumetric recovery data in donors was performed in 23 donors, who underwent 29 contrast-enhanced computed tomography within 3 months for various clinical indications.
