Abstract
Introduction: The term Split/Liver Transplantation involved the ex vivo division of an adult cadaver liver into a pediatric allograft and a remnant adult allograft. The efforts were an attempt to satisfy an increasing demand for pediatric cadaver allografts that had resulted in prolonged waiting periods and a wait-list mortality of approximately 50% at major pediatric referral centers. The main of this work is given to know our experience in two different cases and encouraged at the adult surgeons to confide and accept the right allograft of this technique for an adult patient.
