title: [Analysis and management of postoperative complication from the donor of living liver transplantation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the postoperative complications and managements in 43 donors of living liver transplantation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical data of 52 donors of living liver transplantation were studied retrospectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The liver function changes were observed in all donors. The liver function of 48 donors got recovery in a week, but the liver function of 4 donors recovered beyond a week. 2 donors had the fat liquefaction of incision. 1 donor had the hematocele under diaphragm. 1 donor had portal vein thrombus. 1 donor had chyle leakage. 1 donor needed pleural punctured for hydrops outflow. All postoperative complications were detected and treated in time, and all donors got a good recovery.
