Core Tip
Core Tip: Transplantation of the left lateral section is a well-established treatment for advanced liver diseases in children, particularly infants. This review highlights the ongoing challenge of matching adult donor grafts to the smaller abdominal capacity of pediatric recipients. It also discusses the evolution of surgical approaches, methods for accurately assessing required liver mass, and strategies for mitigating complications related to large-for-size grafts.
