Liver Transplantation Results in Our Center Newly Established

Abstract

Background:

Liver transplantation is the current treatment for end-stage liver failure. In this article, we aimed to present our experience with cadaveric donor liver transplants between 30.07. 2015 and 30.07.2016 in our newly established Organ Transplant Center.

Patients and Method:

The organs were provided from drain deaths declared cadavers in hospitals linked to the coordination system in Isparta and its district. Organ pairings were achieved according to the data of the Ministry of Health. Vena cava anastomoses of orthotopically transplanted livers were performed with the piggy-back method by applying partial clamping. The standard end-to-end anastomoses were performed for portal vein and hepatic artery. Bile duct anastomoses were performed end–to-end over the stent.

Results:

Since the establishment of our organ transplantation center 9 cadaveric donors were acquired to the national system and 7 liver transplantations were performed in our center. Seven patients (5 male, 2 female), mean age 55,3 (45-72) years, cadaveric donor liver transplantation were performed. Patients’ characteristics, diagnosis, operation times, the amount of transfusion, complications  and MELD score are summarized in Table 1. Except for one mortality, all patients were discharged without any complication. However, 6 months after operation acute myeloid leukemia was detected in one patient whose treatment continues. A woman who developed the biliary tract stenosis at the post-operative 7th month was treated endoscopically. Post-operative 3. day one patient mortality were observed due to portal vein thrombosis. The histopathology reports of the removed livers were compatible the preoperative diagnosis.

Conclusion:

We consider that the patient selection, careful follow-up, and treatment of the patients are the reasons for the lack of early complication in this newly established transplantation center.
