| Abstract: | Situs inversus is a rare anatomical abnormality that is often associated with multiple, complex malformations. In the past, patients with situs inversus were considered unsuitable candidates for transplantation or organ donation because associated visceral, and especially vascular, anomalies pose special technical difficulties. Recently, several cases of successful liver transplantation in recipients with situs inversus have been published using modified surgical techniques. This report reviews the literature and describes our own experience, including two liver graft recipients with complete and incomplete situs inversus, and one patient who underwent successful transplantation using a liver from a donor with situs inversus.
