    Living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is essential in Egypt due to the absence of deceased donor liver transplantation programs.

  • 2

    The right hemi-liver graft is preferred for adult LDLT due to its larger volume, despite challenges from anatomical variations.

  • 3

    Portal vein reconstruction is crucial for successful LDLT, with variations occurring in 10% to 35% of potential donors.

  • 4

    Various surgical techniques, including direct venoplasty and autologous Y-graft interposition, address portal vein anatomical variations.

    This study is the first from Egypt to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of LDLT using right hemi-liver grafts with portal vein variations.
