Abstract
Biliary reconstruction is key point to successful outcomes in living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Despite the different described technique, a high rate of biliary complication is reported in this procedure. Many mitigation strategies have been presented but still there is no consensus on the best option for biliary reconstruction in LDLT. We herein present three different techniques that can be used after adequate evaluation of grafts' and recipients' characteristics.
