Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The feasibility of split liver transplantation (SLT) remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of SLT in adult recipients and to identify specific areas of improvements. A retrospective analysis was conducted on adults who underwent full size SLT between January 2021 and December 2023. The short-term outcomes of these patients who underwent SLT were compared with those of patients who underwent whole liver transplantation (WLT) during the same period.
