Figure 1 Graft types for split liver transplantation.
The most common type is the left lateral segment graft (segment II and III) for children and the right trisegment graft (segment I, IV-VIII) for adults. In hemiliver splitting, the liver is split on the right side of the middle hepatic vein to yield the left hemiliver graft (segment I-IV) and the right hemiliver graft (segment V-VIII) for 2 adults or adult-sized recipients.
