| Core Tip |
Universiti Malaya Medical Centre established Malaysia’s first structured adult living donor liver transplantation program in a public institution (2017) and has performed 30 living donor hepatectomies using right lobe, left lobe, and left lateral segment grafts. Donor safety is maintained through rigorous three-phase donor evaluation, multidisciplinary selection meetings, standardized open hepatectomy with routine intraoperative cholangiography, and protocol-driven perioperative care. Zero donor mortality, low-incident self-limiting complications, favorable intraoperative blood loss and length of hospital stay, and complete functional recovery indicate living donor liver transplantation can be safe in a low-volume, resource-constrained center when supported by robust clinical governance and evolving institutional expertise. |
