Abstract
This study highlights the role of intraoperative sonography (IOS) using a high-frequency transducer in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) with modified right-lobe grafts. IOS is pivotal for the real-time assessment of vascular patency and anastomotic integrity, providing crucial insights into hepatic artery, portal vein, and hepatic vein configurations. The technique's high spatial resolution allows for the early detection of potential vascular complications, which are significant predictors of postoperative outcomes. Through detailed illustrations of vascular anastomoses and hemodynamics, this article discusses technical and anatomical considerations of IOS and demonstrates its effectiveness in screening and managing vascular complications in LDLT, thereby enhancing surgical precision and patient safety.

期刊介绍:
Ultrasonography, the official English-language journal of the Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine (KSUM), is an international peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to practice, research, technology, and education dealing with medical ultrasound. It is renamed from the Journal of Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine in January 2014, and published four times per year: January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. Original articles, technical notes, topical reviews, perspectives, pictorial essays, and timely editorial materials are published in Ultrasonography covering state-of-the-art content.
Ultrasonography aims to provide updated information on new diagnostic concepts and technical developments, including experimental animal studies using new equipment in addition to well-designed reviews of contemporary issues in patient care. Along with running KSUM Open, the annual international congress of KSUM, Ultrasonography also serves as a medium for cooperation among physicians and specialists from around the world who are focusing on various ultrasound technology and disease problems and relevant basic science.
