Abstract

Perioperative morbidity in the living donation of partial livers is mainly due to infections and biliary complications. Bile duct anatomy variants, in particular of the right system, are suspected to be causative. We investigated the influence of bile duct variants on the incidence of biliary donor complications in donations of the right liver lobe. We analyzed 103 donors. Twelve patients had a bile leak that required treatment. All of these were treated endoscopically without any residual defect. We did not see a central extrahepatic bile duct lesion Nagano type C. The anatomic variant Huang A3 is a challenge with respect to the surgical technique. Three of 17 patients with biliary anatomy Huang A3 developed leaks. The bile duct anatomy can be carefully evaluated by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and intraoperative cholangiography. The anatomic variant Huang A3 warrants particular attention for the closure of the bile duct orifice.
