Liver was implanted using a 1992-Belghiti piggyback technique positioning the larger hemiliver in the left upper quadrant and the left in the liver fossa. We assisted a good graft reperfusion without surgical or anesthetic problems. His hospital stay was relatively uneventful and he was discharged from hospital on postoperative day 7. At 8 months of follow-up the patient is alive and in good clinical condition.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The donor situs inversus totalis does not require any modification of transplant procedure if the donor\u2013recipient size match permits a comfortable placement of the graft in a standard anatomical position. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of liver transplantation with a graft from a \u201cmarginal\u201d donor with situs inversus totalis using a 1992-Belghiti piggyback technique.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The donor situs inversus totalis status should not be considered a contraindication for LT and the piggyback technique should be considered the surgery of choice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2014.10.037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,11]],"date-time":"2014-12-11T14:47:06Z","timestamp":1418309226000},"page":"222-225","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Side-to-side caval anastomosis in a patient receiving a liver graft from a marginal donor with situs inversus totalis"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Tommaso Maria","family":"Manzia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Tariciotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberta","family":"Angelico","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luca","family":"Toti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Anselmo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Tisone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-63-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"829","DOI":"10.1053\/jlts.2001.26923","article-title":"Liver transplantation from situs inversus to situs inversus","volume":"7","author":"Sugawara","year":"2001","journal-title":"Liver Transpl"},{"key":"R2-63-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"442","DOI":"10.1097\/00007890-199502000-00027","article-title":"Transplantation of the liver from a donor with complete situs inversus and dextrocardia","volume":"59","author":"Asfar","year":"1995","journal-title":"Transplantation"},{"key":"R3-63-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.1097\/00007890-199607150-00027","article-title":"Orthotopic liver transplantation from a donor with abdominal situs inversus","volume":"62","author":"Herrera","year":"1996","journal-title":"Transplantation"},{"key":"R4-63-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1869","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-6143.2007.01843.x","article-title":"Retroversus implantation of a liver graft: a novel approach to the deceased donor with situs inversus totalis","volume":"7","author":"Pomposelli","year":"2007","journal-title":"Am J Transplant"},{"key":"R5-63-20260114","first-page":"1353","article-title":"Classical orthotopic liver transplantation from a donor with situs inversus totalis using slight rotation of the liver graft","volume":"123","author":"Dou","year":"2010","journal-title":"Chin Med J (Engl"},{"key":"R6-63-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"212","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1432-2277.1998.tb00804.x","article-title":"Situs inversus of donor or recipient in liver transplantation","volume":"11","author":"Braun","year":"1998","journal-title":"Transpl Int"}],"container-title":["International Journal of Surgery Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.elsevier.com\/content\/article\/PII:S2210261214002855?httpAccept=text\/xml","content-type":"text\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/api.elsevier.com\/content\/article\/PII:S2210261214002855?httpAccept=text\/plain","content-type":"text\/plain","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/01612930-201506000-00063","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,14]],"date-time":"2026-01-14T13:36:43Z","timestamp":1768397803000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/01612930-201506000-00063"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,1]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"C","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.ijscr.2014.10.037","relation":{},"ISSN":["2210-2612"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2210-2612","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,1]]}}}
