Small-for-size syndrome is a clinical syndrome of early allograft dysfunction usually following living donor liver transplantation due to a mismatch between recipient metabolic and functional requirements and the graft's functional capacity. While graft size relative to the recipient size is the most commonly used parameter to predict risk, small-for-size syndrome is multifactorial and its development depends on a number of inter-dependant factors only some of which are modifiable. Intra-operative monitoring of portal haemodynamics and portal flow modulation is widely recommended though there is wide variation in clinical practice.

Background: Only 3 % of children in sub-Saharan Africa with congenital heart disease (CHD) have access to life-saving surgery. There is an urgent need to scale up the volume of cardiac procedures. Cost-utility analysis can assess the health economic impacts of performing congenital heart surgery in this region.
