Abstract

Small for Size Syndrome (SFSS) is a specific problem in Living Donor Liver Transplant (LDLT) where the pathogenesis in SFSS seems to be primarily linked to graft over perfusion. Various methods of modulating portal inflow to reduce excessive flow to the liver without compromising liver function has been described. We report the outcome of 4 LDLT cases in which the portal inflow was modulated by performing a splenectomy and a temporary hemi-portocaval shunt.
