Although living donor liver transplantation has evolved, small-for-size syndrome remains a feared complication. Achieving optimal outflow for the graft with limited donor risk is possible with an experienced team and different techniques. Here we describe the technical aspects of living donor liver transplantation using a right lobe graft, including the different types of grafts, venous reconstructions and the importance of preoperative workup.

Introduction: Approximately 50% of patients with C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and primary immune complex-mediated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) reach kidney failure 10 years after diagnosis. Because these patients are generally young, the majority will be listed for kidney transplantation (KTx). However, reported outcomes in patients transplanted for C3G and IC-MPGN are heterogeneous and conflicting, because they are mainly based on retrospective monocentric studies.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine interventions and identify risk factors for lymphocele formation following kidney transplant.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 296 adult kidney transplants from 2010 to 2022 to investigate postoperative lymphocele formation. We divided patients into lymphocele cases and nonlymphocele cases.
Feasibility of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging to predict biliary complications in living donor liver transplantation: A pilot study.

Backgrounds/aims: Liver transplantation (LT) is now a critical, life-saving treatment for patients with liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite its significant benefits, biliary complications (BCs) continue to be a major cause of postoperative morbidity. This study evaluates the fluorescence intensity (FI) of the common bile duct (CBD) utilizing near-infrared indocyanine green (ICG) imaging, and examines its association with the incidence of BCs within three months post-LT.

Background: This study aims to identify causal mediators of one-year kidney transplant failure in patients with peripheral vascular disease.
Methods: Standard Transplant Analysis and Research database was queried for adults who underwent kidney transplantation from 1987 to 2021. Multi-organ transplant, prior transplant, and living donor kidneys were excluded.
