Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged over 18 who received a living-donor liver transplant at Al‑Rajhy Liver Hospital (Assiut University) are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Pediatric patients and recipients of cadaveric (deceased-donor) liver transplants are excluded and will not be included or directly benefit from this study's results.

What this trial studies
This is an observational project combining a retrospective chart review with prospective data collection from adult living-donor liver transplant recipients at Al‑Rajhy Liver Hospital, Assiut University. The team will document the frequency and specific types of biliary complications (anastomotic and non-anastomotic strictures, leaks, bilomas, stones, cholangitis, etc.) and collect perioperative and clinical variables. Analyses will seek associations between patient, donor, and surgical factors and the occurrence and clinical course of biliary complications. The study excludes pediatric and cadaveric (deceased-donor) transplants and does not introduce experimental treatments.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help clinicians identify modifiable risk factors and improve prevention and management of biliary complications after living-donor liver transplant.
How similar studies have gone: Previous clinical series have shown that biliary complications are common after living-donor liver transplantation and that identifying perioperative risk factors can reduce complication rates, so this work builds on established but variable evidence.
