Abstract

Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has become a prominent option for patients with end-stage liver disease, offering significant advantages in terms of reducing waiting times and improving patient survival. This procedure involves the donation of a portion of a healthy individual’s liver, which regenerates post-transplant. While LDLT offers a lifesaving alternative to deceased donor liver transplantation, it also carries inherent risks for both donors and recipients. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the benefits and risks associated with LDLT, examining medical, ethical, and psychological considerations. The discussion also includes an exploration of recent advancements and future directions in LDLT, with a focus on improving safety and outcomes for all parties involved.
