Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of in-situ split liver transplantation (ISSLT) in children.Methods From June 2015 to August 2018,10 liver grafts from DBD were split in-situ.All the donors were male,and the median age of the donors was 28.5 year old (18-48 year).One left half graft and 9 left lateral lobe grafts (including 2 reduced size grafts) were transplanted to 10 pediatric recipients.Four grafts were transplanted in our center,and the rest 6 grafts were shared to other two transplant center.The primary diseases of the recipients included biliary atresia (8/10),hepatic sinus obstruction syndrome (1/10) and Alagille syndrome (1/10).The median age of the recipients was 10 month (7 month-11 year),and the mean body weight was 9.8 ± 6.6 kg (5-28 kg).Results All liver grafts were split in-situ.The mean split time of liver grafts was 88.5 ± 18.9 min.The mean weight of split grafts was 336.7-± 85.4 g.All recipients were subjected to piggyback liver transplantation.Operation time was 542.5 ± 112.1 min.Anhepatic time was 52.0 ±-13.5 min.GRWR was (3.98 ±0.96)%.GRWR of two cases was more than 5%,so segment Ⅲ was partially reduced.During the follow-up period,9 cases were alive and 1 case died due to multiple organ failure 1 day after liver transplantation.Conclusions ISSLT can enlarge the graft pool for children and achieve good results.
