ABSTRACT
Adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation has been implemented more recently, but has quickly become an important component of liver transplant programs worldwide, not only in geographical areas where cadaver organ donation in non-existent or has low rate. Adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation is challenging both from the ethical and technical point of view for the implications of submitting a healthy individual, the donor, to a complex operation with risks for morbidity and mortality that cannot be completely eliminated.
