The aim of this didactical video is to show an easy and standardized technique of liver preparation after "en bloc" extraction and access a young surgeon to perform liver procurement. The technique entails five steps: beginning with the dissection of the vena cava, the superior mesenteric artery, and the coeliac trunk, followed by the common hepatic artery, the bile duct and finally the portal vein. This technique of liver graft preparation has high reproducibility while maintaining the safety of the procedure for young surgeons. The "en bloc" extraction with a standardized liver graft preparation is an easy and a reproducible technique.
