Abstract

TO THE EDITORS:
The application of split liver transplantation in adults effectively increases the pool of donor organs available for liver transplantation.1 The accurate estimation of
the sizes of full right and left lobe grafts facilitates optimal matches with graft recipients and is a necessary requirement for successful split liver transplantation. We report an easy method for precisely estimating the sizes of full right and left lobe liver grafts to enable the selection of size-matched recipients.
