           Figure 3. Specific situations where 3D printed abdominal cavity model can be clinically beneficial during liver transplantation and some
           example cases. (A) Decision to proceed with whole liver transplantation from deceased donor in a patient with small abdominal cavity.
           (B)  Decision to proceed with reduction graft transplantation from deceased donor when the whole liver graft is too large for the recipient.
           (C) Decision for choosing between different donors in pediatric recipient. (D) Decision for using a reduction graft in a pediatric recipient.
           (E) Decision for selecting a donor and graft for a recipient with a spatial deformity in the liver fossa. (F) Decision for choosing between left
           lateral or left hemigraft during deceased donor liver procurement for split liver transplantation.
