Abstract
The shortage of deceased donor livers is the most significant factor inhibiting further application of liver transplantation for patients with end-stage liver disease.1 The technical advance of split liver transplantation (SLT), whereby one liver is divided into 2 partial grafts for successful transplantation in 2 recipients, a child and an adult, emerged in 1988 after the study by Pichlmayr et al.2Keywords
