description Current literature and policy in pediatric liver allocation and organ procurement are reviewed here in narrative fashion, highlighting historical context, ethical framework, technical/procurement considerations, and support for a logical way forward to an equitable pediatric liver allocation system that will improve pediatric wait‐list and posttransplant outcomes without adversely affecting adults. Where available, varying examples of successful international pediatric liver allocation and split‐liver policy will be compared to current US policy to highlight potential strategies that can be considered globally.
