Living Donor Liver Transplantation: Preoperative Planning and Postoperative Complications.

The purposes of this article are to highlight the similarities and differences in workup and work flow across multiple institutions in the preoperative imaging assessment of liver donors; to lay the foundation for developing consensus guidelines; to illustrate clinically relevant anatomic variants; to introduce a standardized reporting template; and to review postprocessing work flow and postoperative donor complications. Further investigation and consensus are needed to determine protocols, time intervals, and duration of follow-up of liver donors that are cost-effective and clinically relevant.
