Abstract:: Background: The international organ shortage for liver transplantation exists particularly in paediatric transplantation. Therefore left-lateral living related liver donation (LLRLD) plays a major role in this field. The aim of the present study was to analyse all procedures of LLRLD in terms of donor safety from December 2008 to October 2012 at the University Hospital of Essen, Germany. Methods: All procedures of LLRLD from December 2008 to October 2012 at the University Hospital of Essen were included in the present study. All operations were carried out via an open narrowed median longitudinal laparotomy. General donor data were analysed. Complications were recorded and classified in accordance to their relevance. Results: 35 LLRLD were performed between December 2008 and October 2012 at the University Hospital of Essen, Germany. Mean age of the donors was 31.9 (23.4-61.7) years and 60 % were female. Past medical histories of the donors showed no relevant diagnoses. Mean length of the surgical procedure was 180 (± 89) minutes. Survival rate was 100 %. Minor complications were seen in 1 of 35 patients. Laboratory data showed a peak of the transaminases on the first postoperative day which resolved during the further course. Median postoperative hospital stay was 7 (5-11) days. Conclusion: LLRLD can be performed safely for the donors after adequate donor selection. The organ pool for paediatric recipients can be expanded by this procedure at suitable transplant centres. Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
