Living organ donation in high-level athletes is rare, and literature documenting return to sport protocols for these individuals is lacking. This case report details the experience of a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I soccer player who underwent living donor hepatectomy and cholecystectomy and documents their return to sport. In this paper, we outline the structured four-phase return to sport protocol that was developed and implemented to support the athlete's recovery and return to competitive Division I play.
高水平运动员进行活体器官捐献的情况很少见，且缺乏记录这些人恢复运动方案的文献。本病例报告详细介绍了一名美国大学体育总会（NCAA）一级联赛足球运动员接受活体供肝切除术和胆囊切除术的经历，并记录了他们恢复运动的情况。在本文中，我们概述了为支持该运动员康复并重返一级联赛比赛而制定和实施的结构化四阶段恢复运动方案。
