Fig. 5. Intraoperative photographs of the graft implantation. (A, B) The right and left corners of the graft and recipient’s hepatic vein orifices were tagged with 5-0 polydioxanone (PDS) and anastomosed with continuous sutures at the posterior and anterior walls. (C, D) The portal vein was reconstructed with the branch patch of the recipient’s portal vein stump using a 6-0 PDS. (E) A vein homograft patch attached at the graft hepatic vein (arrow) made the graft hepatic vein anastomosis definitely wide. (F) The graft left hepatic artery was reconstructed under surgical microscopy using the recipient’s left hepatic artery branch.
