Isn't it extremely dangerous to remove 60% of someone's liver? I can imagine anything could have easily gone wrong. It just seems unrealistic to think that would work in the donor or the recipient. Wow!
They can take anywhere from 25 - 60%. Most of the liver, in both donor and recipient, will regenerate within a couple of months.
The big problem with liver surgery is the possibility of bleeding - for both parties.
