Split-liver transplantation eliminates the need for living-donor liver transplantation in children with end-stage cholestatic liver disease

SLT can provide liver grafts for children with ESCLD with an outcome similar to the one reported following LDLT, eliminating mortality while they are on a transplantation wait list. The need for pediatric LDLT should be reevaluated and programs of SLT strongly encouraged and supported at a national and international level.
