Proper venous outflow reconstruction is essential for the success of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). It has also a decisive impact on postoperative graft dysfunction. The accessory right inferior hepatic veins (IHVs) usually drain parts of the lateral sector of the right hemiliver graft (RHL). The purpose of our study was to: (1) evaluate the drainage patterns of the IHVs in right hemiliver grafts; (2) analyze the influence of IHVs on the dominance relationships between the right and middle hepatic veins in RHL's; (3) evaluate some potential correlation between drainage patterns of IHVs and the portal vein anatomy.
