Abstract
In living related hepatic transplantation, sclerotic small portal vein and thrombosis can impede standard end to end anastomosis of the graft portal vein and the recipient portal vein. We have described herein the successful use of the donor ovarian vein as the portal vein graft. It offers a safe and simple modality that can avoid unnecessary wound to the living donor.
