| Abstract: | In western countries, liver transplantation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been performed with the use of grafts from brain dead donors, while in Japan this has begun being performed using partial liver grafts from living donors. This report describes our current results after liver transplantation for HCC and domino liver transplantation, which was introduced to resolve the organ shortage. |
