The concept of dual-graft liver transplantation was introduced to overcome the discrepancy between liver transplantation demand and liver donation. Dual-graft transplantation also mitigates cumulative family risk by decreasing individual donor risk through minimization of the resected liver volume from each donor. Here, we describe the first two cases performed in Saudi Arabia wherein a dual-graft living donor liver transplantation was facilitated by the use of one left lobe graft and one left lateral segment in both cases. These are the first two cases of dual-graft liver transplantation reported from Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. SIMILAR CASES PUBLISHED: Nine on the same subject in other parts of the world (Korea, Japan, Germany, China, and Brazil).
双供肝移植的概念是为了克服肝移植需求与肝脏捐赠之间的差距而提出的。双供肝移植还通过将每个供体切除的肝脏体积最小化来降低个体供体风险，从而减轻累积的家庭风险。在此，我们描述了沙特阿拉伯进行的首例两例双供肝活体肝移植病例，两例均使用一个左叶供肝和一个左外叶供肝。这是沙特阿拉伯和中东地区报道的首例两例双供肝移植病例。已发表的类似病例：世界其他地区（韩国、日本、德国、中国和巴西）有9例关于同一主题的病例。
