Core Tip

Core tip: A 12 years Italian single center experience is herein reported, focusing on the live donors who underwent conventional open right hepatectomies for adult to adult living related liver transplantations. In light of this experience we individualized three area of interest where we accomplished remarkable goals over this time period: donor nutritional status and rescue of steatotic donors; analysis of post hepatectomy liver regeneration; surgical technical developments.
