About this study

Prophylactic abdominal drain placement after donor hepatectomy has been a common or even mandatory practice in most transplant centers. This serves to monitor the occurrence of post-operative intra-abdominal bleeding and is used for the detection and drainage of any bile leakage. However prophylactic drain placement is not without complications, like; Increased rates of intraabdominal and wound infection, Increased abdominal pain, Decreased pulmonary function, Bowel injury and Prolonged hospital stay. Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) is a valuable tool used to assess the overall morbidity of patients after surgical interventions . The CCI score ranges from 0 (no complication) to 100 (death), reflecting the gravity of the overall complication burden on the patient on a continuous scale and is a validated tool for living donor liver transplants. The investigators aim to compare the safety of no drain placement vs abdominal drain placement in LDLT(Live Donor Liver Transplant) by comparing the comprehensive complication index(CCI) between both arms at day of discharge after donor hepatectomy.
