Small for size syndrome difficult dilemma: Lessons from 10 years single centre experience in living donor liver transplantation.

CONCLUSION: SFSG is the independent and main factor for occurrence of SFSS after A-ALDLT leading to poor outcome. However, the management of this catastrophe depends upon its prevention (i.e., selecting graft with proper size, splenectomy to decrease portal venous inflow, and improving hepatic vein outflow by reconstructing large draining veins of the graft).
