Abstract	Background: Left lateral segment grafts are generally used for very young pediatric patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Recently, graft reduction techniques were developed for LDLT. Monosegment grafting has been used in newborns. The aim of this study was to determine the usefulness of monosegment grafting for infants. Methods: Recipients <2 years of age who underwent LDLT with a monosegment graft between 2010 and 2020 were gathered. Parents comprised all LDLT donors. A segment 2 monosegment graft was resected as a graft from the donor. Standard liver volume (SLV) was estimated using Urata's equation. Graft type, graft weight (GW), and native liver weight were assessed. Results: Eight patients were included in the study. Original diseases consisted of biliary atresia (n = 6) and fulminant hepatitis (n = 2). Final graft type included monosegment (n = 5) and reduced monosegment (n = 3). Median final GW/body weight after reduction was 3% (range, 2%-3.4%). Median native liver weight/SLV was 134% except in patients with fulminant hepatitis. Median pre-reduction graft volume (GV)/estimated GV was 113% (range, 60%-208%). Median pre-reduction GV/SLV of monosegment grafts that required reduction (n = 3) was 109% (range, 106%-121%). Median final reduced graft GV/SLV was 80% (range, 74%-91%). Complications due to large-for-size grafts were not observed. One case of bile leakage due to graft reduction occurred as a complication. Grafts were functioning well with the exception of one graft loss due to antibody-mediated rejection. Conclusion: Estimated GV in infants varies widely. Monosegment grafting can be useful for infants as well as newborns.
