Abstract: Objective To study the intraoperative and postoperative complications of autologous liver transplantation (ALT),and their prevention and treatment.Methods From October 2005 to December 2011,our center carried out 36 cases of ALT for malignant (n=23) and benign diseases (n=13).Intraoperative and postoperative complications and treatment methods were analysed.Results Of the 36 patients,2 patients developed small liver syndrome in the perioperative period.Allogeneic liver transplantation was carried out for 1 of these two patients for acute liver failure.Another patient died of lung infection 16 days after the surgery.Among 36 ALT recipients and 23 patients suffering from malignant tumor,1,2,3-year survival rates were.75％,71％,68％ and 65％,59％,54％ respectively.Conclusions With adequate preoperative assessment,the incidence of serious complications after ALT should be low.Prompt prevention and treatment of intraoperative and postoperative serious complications could cut down perioperative mortality,and provide long-term survival after ALT.
