Abstract Liver procurement (LP) from a neurologically deceased donor (NDD) is one of the most important spotlights in liver transplantation (LT) [1,2]. The commonly used approaches include the “rapid” en-bloc dissection, the in vivo normothermic dissection, or a combination of both, according to the preferences and/or the experience of the LP/LT team. A correct LP is essential to achieve optimal results. On the counterpart, defective execution of any of its steps can leave the liver graft unusable and/or cause severe complications in the recipient [3].
