In this Review, various aspects of pretransplant donor liver management are discussed, including donor preconditioning, conventional and dynamic preservation techniques and ex vivo organ viability monitoring and graft pretreatment. The technique and clinical outcomes of split-liver transplantation are evaluated. Furthermore, the literature on rare liver donor conditions with non-standard ethical or technical issues is assessed with respect to clinical relevance.
