title: [The first successful adult right-lobe living donor liver transplantation in Hungary].
abstract: The authors report on their experiences related to the first adult live donor liver transplantation performed in Hungary. The transplantation was done between brother and sister on 19th of November, 2007. The right lobe of the 33-year-old healthy male's donor liver (segments 5-8) was removed and implanted into the 23-year-old female suffering from cirrhosis on the ground of autoimmune hepatitis. The implantation of the right liver lobe was done after own hepatectomy in orthotopic position. Liver function has improved rapidly following the transplantation. The donor was discharged on the 10th post-operative day with stable liver function. He had full rehabilitation, got back to work, and control check-ups showed a significant liver regeneration. Two years after transplantation, the recipient also lives an active life with compensated liver function and she is under regular medical check-up. With the case report, authors overview the indications and techniques of living donor right-lobe liver transplantation.
