Abstract:
In Viet Nam, the method of liver resection developed by Prof. Ton That Tung at Viet Duc Hospital was approved worldwide. After that realisation liver trasplantation had been considered. In 1965 Ton That Tung and his collaborators had carried an experiment to graft total liver on dog and had preliminary success, afterwards human liver tranplantation began to prepare. In 2002, in Viet Duc hospital, 15 cases of experimental liver tranplantation were performed totally in pig to get experience and the results were encouraged. For implementing a first case of liver transplantation in late year 2003 and for developing this technique in some main institution in next time, some preparation must be started
