Is piggyback transplantation with side-to-side cavocavostomy an ideal technique for right split liver allograft implantation? Context: Split liver grafting has not gained wide acceptance mainly because of different vascular and biliary technical problems. A new technique of right split liver transplantation is described. The piggyback implantation technique, using wide side-to-side cavocavostomy overcomes problems encountered when sharing the superhepatic vena cava cuff between two livers and obtains optimal drainage of venous allograft outflow, thus avoiding extensive bleeding at the transection margin. This technique was successfully used in two adult recipients.
