Biliary complication is the most common complications after liver transplantation, and it happens more often after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) than deceased donor liver transplantation. Many transplant centers adopted their own methods to improve biliary complications after LDLT. One suggested method is the application of external biliary drainage (EBD). A prospective study was planned to demonstrate effect of EBD on biliary complication after LDLT. Patients who underwent LDLT with duct-to-duct anastomosis will be randomly assinged to application of EBD or conventional duct-to-duct anastomosis without EBD according to a computer generated randomization sequence and allocated in a 1:1 ratio to one of two groups. Primary outcome is biliary complication incidence 1 year after LDLT.
