Abstract:
Objective To summarize the clinical experience in 58 cases of split liver transplantation (SLT).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 58 cases of SLT during June 2006 to January 2011.There were 13 cases performed at the first phase (2006.6-2008.12),and 45 cases at the second phase (2009.1 2011.1). The survival rate of patients,recovery of liver function,re-transplantation rate,incidence of vascular complications and biliary complications were observed,and the causes of death were analyzed.Results The median follow-up time of all the patients was 11.4 months (0-48 months).The 1- and 2-year cumulative survival rate was 77.4％ and 68.3％ respectively,re-transplantation rate was 6.9％,the incidence of vessel complications was 13.8％,and biliary complication rate was 32.1％.Fifteen cases died,including 8 deaths which were related to surgical complications.Conclusion With the donor split technology improvements and refinements in partial liver transplantation, the survival rate of SLT recipients is significantly increased,but selection of recipients is still the key factor that impacts survival rate of recipients receiving SLT.SLT can expand the resource of liver donors,and adequate selection of recipients can obtain better results.
