Core Tip This single-centre study evaluates the impact of donor size on early vascular complications after paediatric whole liver transplantation. Grafts from donors ≤ 15 kg showed higher rates of early vascular complications and retransplantation. Although donor weight itself was not an independent risk factor, it reflects the anatomical and technical challenges of small-calibre vessels. Recognising this association may help optimise graft selection, surgical planning, and postoperative monitoring to improve outcomes in small paediatric recipients.
