Abstract

Surgical advances have allowed for the development of split liver transplantation, providing two recipients with the opportunity to potentially benefit from one donated liver by splitting the liver into two usable parts. Although current data suggest that the splitting of livers provides overall benefit to the liver-recipient population, relatively low numbers of livers are actually split in the United Kingdom. This article addresses the question of whether ethical concerns are posing an unnecessary barrier to further increasing the number of life-saving transplantations. Recognizing that an important aspect of exploring these concerns is gaining insight into how transplant staff and patients regard splitting livers, the article presents the findings of a qualitative study examining the views of senior transplant staff and liver transplant patients in the UK and uses these to inform a commentary on the ethical issues relating to split liver transplantation.

Description:

Data record consists of a PDF data overview and annotations in .json format.
Qualitative data were gathered for a specific purpose using semi-structured interviews where participants were challenged and questioned on their beliefs on split liver transplant issues and the reasoning behind them. All participants gave informed consent prior to participation in interviews, and were informed that their words may be used in publications and reports resulting from the research.
Data were analysed using semi-directed content analysis using some 'plain' ethical concepts.
