title: Complications in living liver donors after partial liver procurement: an illustrative radiologic review.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this article is to present an illustrative radiologic review of the usual postoperative findings and of various postoperative complications in living liver donors.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Radiologic studies can reveal various complications in living liver donors after partial liver resection. Meticulous radiologic surveillance is mandatory for living liver donors during the early postoperative period because their safety is of primary concern in living donor liver transplantation.
