Core Tip	The transplantation community has made numerous efforts to expand the donor pool. While conventional split liver transplantation in which a child received the left lateral segment and an adult the right liver has proved an effective approach to increase organ availability, current outcomes after split liver transplantation for two adult recipients are conflicting. Ongoing surgical refinements and innovations have been reported and dedicated organ allocation policies proposed to encourage the more widespread appli-cation of this challenging procedure in the future.
