Objectives: In this study, we aimed to investigate the surgical technique and biochemical parameters that affect biliary complications in liver transplants from live and cadaver in our center. Methods: In this study, 141 patients who underwent liver transplants at Istanbul Yeni Yüzyıl Universty Gaziosmanpaşa Hospital organ transplant center between January 2018 and January 2020 were included in the study. The patients were monitored for 12–24 months. The patients included in the present study were examined retrospectively. Factors that may cause biliary tract complications and treatment modalities for complications were examined. Results: In this study, liver transplantation from 124 living donors and 17 cadavers was performed. Twenty-three patients were under the age of 18. Only seven of 39 biliary complications were operated on. The rate of finding the right graft in patients with biliary complications was higher (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups concerning left, left lateral, and whole graft presence (p=0.561, p=0.172, and p=0.057, respectively). Double biliary anastomosis was to be higher in the biliary complication group, but there was no statistically significant difference (p=0.086). Conclusion: Biliary complications are common, especially in liver transplants taken from the right lobe. Significant patient survival can be achieved with an early diagnosis and an appropriate treatment approach.
