Living Related Liver Transplantation (LRLT)is a new strategy, which offers the option of a lifesaving procedure to patients suffering from end - stage liver disease, and the experience indicates that the results are better than cadaveric liver transplantation. It promises to decrease the waiting time for liver transplantation significantly and to reduce the number of patients dying on the waiting list. The selection of a suitable donor and the techniques of operation are of paramount importance for LRLT to minimize the risk for the recipient and the donor, and achieve better outcome for patient. 1 -year recipient survival rate of LRLT is over 90% and 5 -year recipient survival rate of LRLT is about 80%. LRLT has been becoming standard and normal operation in many western transplant centers.
