Abstract
The authors have chosen to describe the most commonly used surgical techniques for liver transplantation and their variations, namely, the standard technique with and without venous-venous bypass, the piggy-back technique with and without venous-venous bypass, and the Belghiti modification of the piggy-back. In addition to that, two rare forms of liver transplantation will be discussed: the procedures used for situs viscerus inversus and auxiliary liver transplantation.
