Living donor liver transplantation is one of the main solutions to the organ supply-demand discrepancy at present. However, there was a risk of the recipient developing small-for-size syndrome due to insufficient graft volume, while an excessively large graft volume for donation might lead to postoperative liver failure for the donor. In this context, the dual-graft liver transplantation had emerged, which could minimize the volume of liver resection from the each donor to ensure the donor’s safety and provide the adequate volume of liver for the recipient. Yet, this procedure is less commonly performed in our country. In order to promote the steady implementation of dual-graft liver transplantation in China and serve as an important supplement to the donor pool, the West China Hospital of Sichuan University organized relevant experts and draw on the mature experiences of advanced countries in the field of transplantation jointly formulated the “Expert consensus on dual-graft liver transplantation”. The consensus had been developed around aspects such as donor evaluation and selection, surgical methods, and postoperative complications.
