A common and serious problem after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) of small grafts is small-for-size syndrome (SFSS). Although hyperdynamic portal inflow and portal hypertension are cornerstones in the development of SFSS, inadequate outflow may aggravate SFSS. Therefore, enlargement of the portal outflow tract by incision of the anterior rim of the orifice of the right hepatic vein (RHV) has been advocated for right lobe LDLT. But backwards tilt of a small graft into a large abdominal cavity may lead to a choking of the otherwise large anastomosis and thus we propose posterior enlargement of the orifice of the RHV.
