    Altruism in Relation to Live Donor Liver Transplants for Liver Cancer
    (Springer International Publishing, 2022) Carr B.I.; Baskiran A.
    Altruism in regard to liver transplantation is the desire to donate part of the liver and thus increase the life and welfare of the individual who needs the organ, without any expectation of reward or gain by the donor. It is regarded as a basic principle of all types of transplantation. Live organ liver donation is an illustration of altruism and is important in many places where medical need outstrips available cadaveric liver donation. The near universality of altruism propels many prospective donors to try and save or extending the lives of persons suffering from liver disease. However, both altruistic donors and the transplant patients need psycho-social support, often on an ongoing basis. The examples of some donor conversations illustrate the complexity, fears and dynamics at play in so many families. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

    Liver transplantation from an upper midline incision
    (2011) Kayaalp C.; Aydin C.; Unal B.; Baskiran A.; Ozgor D.; Aydinli B.; Yilmaz S.
    Objectives: To evaluate the minimally invasive incision to the recipient of a liver transplant. Materials and Methods: A 55-year-old man with cirrhosis due to hepatitis B accompanied by hepatocellular carcinoma underwent a right lobe, living-donor liver transplant using an 18-cm long, upper midline incision. The recipient hepatectomy was performed from the left to the right side (from medial to lateral). Deep retractors and long surgical instruments were preferred. Results: The surgical procedure was completed without problem. Both the recipient hepatectomy and implantation of the right liver took 8 hours. Postoperative recovery of the patient was rapid, and he was discharged 8 days after surgery, uneventfully. Conclusions: An upper midline incision can be preferred for liver transplant for selected cases. Minimally invasive surgery is an option for liver transplant recipients as well. © Başkent University 2011 Printed in Turkey. All Rights Reserved.
