Living donor liver transplantation for adults was developed only recently in an attempt to increase the pool of donor organs; to reduce morbidity and mortality; and to improve the long-term survival of patients in need of liver transplant. Within a few brief years, this procedure has gained widespread support by both the public and transplant community. The procedure will soon be performed by nearly 80% of all liver transplant programs in the United States. Unfortunately, the long-term risks of the procedure to the recipient and especially the donor remain undefined. In response to the rapid growth and enthusiasm for this procedure, the National Institutes of Health sponsored a workshop, the goals of which were to review the scientific, medical, and nonmedical issues associated with living donor liver transplantation, and to define questions for future basic and clinical investigations which could improve the success and applicability of this procedure.

Because right-lobe living-donor liver transplantation was introduced in adult-to-adult liver transplantation to mitigate the problems of small-for-size grafts, some technical controversies have been reported. This report describes a case of graft subcapsular hematoma due to parenchymal injury. A 53-year-old woman underwent a right-lobe living-donor liver transplantation for acute-on-chronic liver failure due to primary biliary cirrhosis. A huge subcapsular hematoma was discovered by routine Doppler echogram examination on the first posttransplantation day. Relaparotomy findings revealed that rotation of the graft for the hemostasis procedure during the transplant operation had induced a compression injury to the graft by the xiphoid process. It was speculated that a small laceration in the graft parenchyma led to the major subcapsular hematoma. This experience suggests that the graft liver must be handled with special care to prevent potential mechanical injury.
