Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has emerged as a crucial development in transplantation, addressing the acute shortage of deceased donor organs. This procedure provides a lifesaving option for patients with end-stage liver disease or acute liver failure where a timely transplant is critical. By enabling a portion of a healthy liver from a living donor to be transplanted, LDLT expands the pool of available organs and offers a faster transplantation process compared to waiting for deceased donor organs [1, 2].

Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has emerged as a crucial development in transplantation, addressing the acute shortage of deceased donor organs. This procedure provides a lifesaving option for patients with end-stage liver disease or acute liver failure where a timely transplant is critical. By enabling a portion of a healthy liver from a living donor to be transplanted, LDLT expands the pool of available organs and offers a faster transplantation process compared to waiting for deceased donor organs [1, 2].
