Re: Polycystic Liver Disease

I think the black arrowed one is the graft replacement? I just C&P'd what the surgeon typed
Yes..it is..imagine them replacing your liver with what the white arrow is pointing at?

When I first read it I was also confused, but re-reading it several times made sense, the diseased liver is obviously the large grotesque looking one (white arrow pointing) and the healthy transplant is the smaller one (black arrow pointing).

This was the original:

"A 9.1-kg liver (white arrow) was removed and replaced with a whole graft that was one tenth the weight of the diseased liver (black arrowhead)."

Perhaps the surgeon should have written it this way:

A 9.1-kg liver (white arrow) was removed and replaced with a whole graft (black arrowhead) that was one tenth the weight of the diseased liver.
