Adult-to-adult living-donor liver transplantation is the most recent achievement in the evolution of strategies to increase donor organ supply. Justification of the procedure has evolved from increased organ-waiting times, wait-list morbidity and mortality of adult transplant candidates. Successful application of adult-to-adult living-donor liver transplantation mandates unique surgical, medical, and donor considerations as these procedures predispose to unique complications resulting from anatomic variations, technical considerations, and the transplantation of``partial''grafts. Additionally, because the magnitude of the donor operation is greater and potentially fraught with serious short and long term morbidity and possibly mortality, the utilization of living-donors for adult liver transplantation raises bio-ethical concerns heretofore not encountered. This review explores the current state of adult-to-adult living-donor liver transplantation.
