Health Condition / Problems Studied  
Health Type  Condition 
Patients  To study the early post operative outcomes in patients who undergoe live donor liver transplantation as per standard accepted criteria.Outcome in donors who undergoe the donor surgery is also studied,  
 
Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Extended Graft Group[Native middle hepatic vein]  Patients are randomized to groups were either the middle hepatic vein is taken from the donor or not. 
Comparator Agent  Modified Graft group[were segment 5 and segment 8 veins are reconstructed in recipient]  Patients are randomized to two groups based on whether middle hepatic vein is taken or not form the donor.If not taken it is reconstructed in the recipient

Brief Summary   This is a randomized parallel group trial designed to assess the early post operative outcomes in donors and recipients who undergoe Live donor liver transplantation.Outcomes in extended graft[with native middle hepatic vein] is compared with modified graft[with neo middle hepatic vein].It is conducted at a single centre [Amrita instititue of Medical sciences,Kochi,Kerala].Primary outcomes assessed in the recipient are Early allograft dysfunctio,.Primary graft non function,Small for size syndrome,Number of days in ICU and mortality at the end of 90 days.Primary outcomes assessed in the donor are Post hepatectomy liver failure,Volume regeneration after 60 days,Clavien Dindo Grading of post surgery morbidity and number of days in ICU after surgery.Change in post surgery liver parameters are also analysed in donor and recipient.
