- Abstract
Since an immunologically related graft with minimal ischemic damage could be prepared from a living and related donor and regenerative capacity of the donor liver would be expected to rapidly make good the loss of tissue, partial liver transplantation might be an ideal method for the transplantation of this single organ. In this study the left half of the donor liver was transplanted after the removal of the left kidney of the recipient. Survival of the donor, the remanant liver of which was supplied only with the portal blood after 70 per cent hepatectomy was achieved. One each of the donors and the recipients survived more than one month after the partial liver transplantation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
