Abstract P41. The Evolving Role of Microsurgery in Living-Donor Liver Transplantation

RESULTS: fPRP and cPRP groups demonstrated reduced cell adherence after isolation compared to non-PRP control groups (n=4/group, p<0.001). In contrast, ffPRP groups showed similar or better adherence than non-PRP control groups. When feeding protocols were compared after 7 days of growth, a single administration of either fPRP or ffPRP resulted in significantly larger population sizes than all ...

Living Donor Liver Transplantation

Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is probably the most high-profile of all surgical enterprises. At the same time, it is an amazing act of altruism. It requires hard work of dedicated multidisciplinary medical teams coupled with the courage of the patients and their families. The concept of LDLT is based on the following two factors: (1) the remarkable regenerative capacity of the liver...

Evaluation of the donor liver for living donor liver transplantation.

Key Points 1. Accurate assessment of the donor liver is an important component of the living donor liver evaluation and is critical to ensure a successful outcome for both donor and recipient. 2. Liver biochemistry tests, viral hepatitis serological tests, tests to exclude chronic liver disease, and volumetric computed tomographic or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the liver are performed ro...
