Abstract in brief

This article describes a novel liver transplantation technique where a segment of the liver is transplanted into the splenic fossa after splenectomy, with delayed removal of the native liver once the graft has regenerated, helping a patient with recurrent liver metastases from colorectal cancer.
The procedure involved transplanting a small liver graft that initially couldn't fully support the body, then reconnecting it to splenic vessels, blocking flow to the native liver to promote graft growth; the native liver was removed after the graft doubled in size.
This innovative approach allowed the patient to live with a functional liver in the splenic area, avoiding early removal of the native liver and potentially providing a new surgical option for complex cases where traditional transplantation is challenging.]
