Does modification of portal pressures and flows enhance recovery of the recipient after living donor liver transplantation? 

Sub-questions

  • Does surgical portal flow modification (i.e. splenic artery ligation, splenectomy, portal-caval shunts), if required, enhance recovery of the recipient after living donor liver transplantation? 
  • Do pharmacological treatments effectively modify portal flow, when required, and hence enhance recovery of the recipient after living donor liver transplantation?
