The aim of the study was to estimate the risk of harvesting a liver fragment from a living-related adult donor. Liver fragments were harvested from 44 donors. Liver segments II and III were harvested from 36 donors. Liver segments II, III, IV were harvested from 6 donors, 2 donors gave segments V, VI, VII, and VIII. After preliminary donor selection volumetric assessment of liver segments by computed tomography and arteriography was performed to visualize the cenac trunk and superior mesenteric artery. None of the donors died. No complications were observed during the operation. Only one case, a bile collection, was observed after surgery. We treated this patient with a satisfactory result by sonography-guided drainage. We observed temporary elevation of bilirubin and transaminase levels and a decrease in prothrombin index value. Blood transfusion was not necessary during any of the procedures. Mean hospitalization time after the surgery was 9.4 days. Mean graft weight/recipient weight ratio was 2.54%. The risk of the harvesting liver fragment from a living-related adult donor seems to be minimal.
