Özet

BACKGROUND: Obtaining sufficient hepatic artery inflow is essential in living donor liver transplantation. However. using recipient's hepatic artery is not proper in some circumstances. Right gastroepiploic artery is the most preferred source for extra-anatomic hepatic artery reconstruction in living donor liver transplantation. Evaluating long-term outcomes including biliary complications in related with hepatic artery anastomosis using right gastrepiploic artery is aimed in this study. It is necessary to determine the prognosis for these patients.
