There have been cases where the left lobe, the smaller side, of a cadaver donor has been given to a child recipient and the right lobe went to an adult. There is also the case of living liver donation where a living person donates a section of their liver to a recipient. If the recipient is a child then the left lobe is donated, if the recipient is an adult it is the right lobe that is donated. For the living donor, their donated section of liver will grow back in about 3-8 weeks.
