Abstract

The Duct of Luschka represents a rare form of accessory biliary ducts. There are no reported cases of the Duct of Luschka in living donor hepatectomy. We report a 36-year-old man with the Duct of Luschka who underwent living-donor hepatectomy. Preoperative drip infusion cholangiography with computed tomography (DIC-CT) identified the Duct of Luschka originating from the right hepatic duct to the cystic duct. By choosing the left and caudate lobe hepatectomy, the Duct of Luschka was left intact during the procedure. The donor recovered uneventfully posthepatectomy, and the recipient also did not experience biliary complications. This case underscores the importance of preoperative DIC-CT and surgical planning, including graft selection, to prevent postoperative bile leaks.

期刊介绍： Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication. The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics. Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board. Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
