Core Tip
Core tip: To the best of our knowledge, this will be the first report on utilisation of large right Riedel’s liver lobes with further anatomical modifications for liver transplantation. We highlight donor and recipient risk factors and focus parameters with impact on recipient selection and on technical aspects for implantation. Additionally, we combine our case series with current available literature in this field.
