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.
