Thanks for the great info and for the question. At Mayo we do perform domino transplants occasionally. Split liver transplants are also performed, but our surgical director tells me that nationwide, these only account for less than 1% of all liver transplants. UNOS has donor criteria that needs to be met before the doctors can consider splitting the liver from the donor, and both pieces of the liver have to be large enough to be safe for both recipients.
I wish you the best with your evaluation. You are right - exciting times are ahead!
