Abstract

Until recently, situs inversus was considered to be an absolute contraindication for liver transplantation. However, recent reports have suggested that situs inversus should not be considered a contraindication. This study presents a successful living donor liver transplantation performed in a 4-month-old male infant with biliary atresia and situs inversus. The surgical findings revealed abdominal situs inversus with polysplenia and an absent retrohepatic inferior vena cava and intestinal malrotation.
