Summary
This study compared two surgical tools—surgical loupes (magnifying glasses) and a microscope—for repairing bile ducts during living donor liver transplants. 52 adults receiving a right-lobe liver graft with a single bile duct opening took part. The goal was to see which tool led to fewer bile duct complications after surgery.
