Abstract:
Classical piggyback liver transplantation (CPBLT) is an advanced technique based on standard orthotopic liver transplantation (SOLT),which has more advantages compared to the SOLT.However,there are still some problems with CPBLT to be solved,such as complicated surgical procedures,postoperative hepatic venous outflow obstruction and thrombosis.Recently,in order to solve these problems,modifications have been made,being named ameliorated piggyback liver transplantation (APBLT).The APBLT solved above-mentioned problems,and expanded the application of PBLT.Therefore,this article describes the technique of these ameliorations,and discusses their individual characteristics.
