RAPID is an auxiliary liver transplantation where a small liver partial graft (namely left lateral segments from living or cadaveric donors) is implanted orthotopically after a left hepatectomy of the native liver. Subsequently, in order to implement a fast regeneration of the transplanted segments a portal flow diversion is operated in the direction of the future remnant. After obtaining a fast regeneration of the auxiliary future remnant liver the native liver hepatectomy is completed as in a two stage- hepatectomy. Peculiar inclusion criteria will be adopted for patient selection with particular reference to the admission of patients with \<3 lung metastases radically treated before transplantation.
