[Liver transplantation in a child from living parents as donors].
The shortage of cadaveric liver grafts is very detrimental for young children because of the scarcity of small size-matched pediatric donors. Living related liver transplantation combined with innovative techniques using a partial cadaveric liver graft (reduced liver, split liver) gives excellent results and has a positive impact on the overall management of children needing a liver transplant.
