Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo explore the value of the microsurgical technique in the reconstruction of hepatic artery.
METHODSFrom September 2000 to June 2001, we performed liver transplantation for 11 patients including living related liver transplantation (4) and 7 orthotopic liver transplantation (7). Arterial reconstruction was performed under an operating microscope.
RESULTSNo patients developed hepatic arterial thrombosis and serious complication, nor death for multiple organ failure.
CONCLUSIONMicrosurgical technique in reconstruction of the hepatic artery can improve surgical outcome, not only in orthotopic liver transplantation but also in living related liver transplantation.
