INTRODUCTION: Biliary complications are the most important source of complications after liver transplantation, and an important cause of morbidity and mortality. With the evolution of surgical transplantation techniques, including living donor and split-liver transplants, the complexity of these problems is increasing. Many studies have shown a higher incidence of biliary tract complications in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) compared with deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT). This article reviews biliary complications after liver transplantation and correlations with LDLT and DDLT. OBJECTIVE: Provide an overview of biliary complications among LDLT and DDLT. RESULTS: The incidence of biliary complications is higher among LDLT (28.7%) when compared with DDLT (15.5%). Bile leaks were the most common complication due to LDLT (17.1%); however, stricture was the most common complication due to DDLT (7.5%). Copyright (c) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
