Liver transplantation techniques

Left lobe transplantation

  • The left and middle hepatic veins, left hepatic artery, and left portal vein are dissected.[1]
  • Small portal vein branches are ligated. The left bile duct is divided
  • Vascular and biliary structures entering segment 4 are divided or left intact.
  • The parenchyma is transected and then the left hepatic artery and left portal vein are divided, releasing the graft.
  • The middle hepatic vein is removed with the graft when a full lobectomy is performed.

Right lobe transplantation

  • The right lobe fits correctly into the right subphrenic space, making the vascular anastomoses easier to perform.[2]
  • Right lobe grafts are prone to a variety of technical complications.
  • After cholecystectomy, intraoperative ultrasound may be used to delineate the position of the hepatic veins and portal branches.
  • The right hepatic artery and right portal vein are dissected, followed by the retrohepatic vena cava, isolating the origin of the right hepatic vein.
  • The right bile duct is isolated, completing mobilization of the right lobe.[3]
  • The liver parenchyma is transected using an ultrasonic scalpel.
  • A portoportal anastomosis is then made between the donor right portal vein and the portal vein of the recipient.

Split-liver transplantation

  • Splitting donor livers into left lateral and extended right grafts for transplantation into a pediatric and an adult recipient.[4]
  • Splitting livers into right and left lobes for transplantation has been investigated as a way to increase the supply of donor organs.
  • Approximately 20 percent of donors could be split.
  • Five-year survival rates were 77 percent, with graft survival rates of 76 percent.
  • For children, 5-year survival rates were 75 percent, with graft survival rates of 63 percent.

MARGINAL LIVER GRAFT OUTCOMES Marginal liver grafts included those with any of the following characteristics:[5]

  • Liver donor age >70 years
  • Livers discarded regionally and shared nationally
  • Livers from hepatitis C positive donors
  • Livers with cold ischemia time >12 hours
  • Livers from donation after cardiac death donors
  • Livers with >30 percent steatosis
  • Livers split between two recipients
