Different types of living donor grafts.

Type of graft	Couinaud segments	Reference	Advantages	Limitations
Left lateral Segment graft	II, III	Strong et al⁷	Minimal risk to donor. Ideal for small children	Volume of graft is low Only suitable for small children
Left lobe graft	II, III, IV	Sugawara et al,⁹ Kawasaki et al¹⁰	Lower risk to donor compared to right lobe donation	Suitable only for large children and small adults
Right lobe graft	V, VI, VII, VIII	Lo et al¹²	Suitable for adult recipients	Increased donor risk technically more challenging
Right posterior sector graft	VI, VII	Sugawara et al⁵⁰	Lesser donor risk	Technically difficult only few patients suitable
Dual grafts	Either 2 left lateral segments or 2 left lobes or a right and left graft	Lee et al¹⁴	Minimizes risk to donor More recipients may be suitable	Needs two living donors Technically more challenging
