Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo summarize the vascular and bile duct reconstruction experience in 40 cases of orthotopic liver transplantation in the southwest hepatobiliary surgery hospital.
METHODSThe clinical data of 40 cases of liver transplantation were analyzed retrospectively from Jan. 1999 to Nov. 2001.
RESULTSMortality rate of this group was 15.0%. Complications included: pulmonary infection (18 cases), MOSF (5 cases), intraperitoneal bleeding (4 cases), ARDS (8 cases), thrombus of hepatic artery (1 case), bile leakage (1 case), and cerebral hemorrhage (1 case). The longest survival time was 31 moths (1 case). There were 15 cases whose survival time was more than 1 year.
CONCLUSIONSThe key point of success of liver transplantation relies on excellent vascular and bile duct reconstruction technique.
