Pediatric Liver Transplantation for Chronic Liver Disease
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The pediatric liver transplant evolved in the 1980s and became established in the 1990s. First successful pediatric liver transplant was performed in 1967 by Prof. Starlz. . There were rapid advances in adult transplantation throughout the 1970s. 1986, when most adult units claimed a 1 year survival rate of 80% average 1 year survival rates in children were only 60% (1). Since then, there have been considerable advances in both medical and surgical management, with international 1 year survival rates from pediatric liver transplant in excess of 90% and 5-10 year survival rates of 80% (2). The success of this complex procedure has led to a significant increase in the number of children undergoing liver transplant world wide and has radically changed the prognosis of many babies and children dying of end-stage live failure.
