By the way, you'll lose the gallbladder in the process. They don't bother transplanting that because of the additional time/difficulty and the possibility of later complications.
i donated my liver 60%(right lobe) to my husband... it really depends on the recipient, and also the size of the donors liver. my husband is quite tall he is 6 ft 4 inches.
my friend donated her liver to her bro and they only took 45% of her right lobe liver as what she told me.
and we are both doing fine.
Do you have a site for that 60%?
I have read 25% adult to child and 50% adult to adult.

If it is a living donor, the recipient gets 60% of the donor liver.
In a cadaver transplant it's generally the whole liver.
In a living donor transplant it's a piece of the liver.
