Living donor liver transplantation could solve shortage of liver grafts in Greece

Organ shortage remains a major challenge in Greece, with low deceased donor rates limiting liver transplantation options. Living Donor Liver Transplantation (LDLT) offers a viable alternative, reducing waiting times, improving graft quality, and enabling elective scheduling. While LDLT introduces risks to donors, stringent medical and ethical evaluations mitigate these concerns. The successful completion of initial LDLT cases in Greece demonstrates its potential to address graft shortages. This article highlights the advantages, challenges, and future prospects of LDLT, advocating for its broader adoption as a transformative solution for liver transplantation in Greece.
