What are the operative procedures of living donor liver transplantation

summary

Recently, I thought that my friend who had a very good relationship had liver cirrhosis. We all advised him to treat it seriously. Because if liver cirrhosis worsens, it will be very serious. Sure enough, he got worse in cirrhosis and needed a living donor liver transplant. Today, I'd like to talk about the procedure of living donor liver transplantation.

What are the operative procedures of living donor liver transplantation

First, the procedure of living donor liver transplantation includes: harvesting of donor liver, trimming of cut donor liver, reconstruction of middle hepatic vein without middle hepatic vein, total resection of diseased liver, and implantation of new liver after trimming. Living donor liver transplantation takes about 10 hours to complete.

Second, with the continuous development of living donor liver transplantation, it has been found that this technology has great advantages over the traditional cadaveric liver transplantation. First, the ischemia time is short, which greatly reduces the biliary complications caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury. Second, good histocompatibility, because living related liver transplantation is mainly carried out between relatives, there is a certain blood relationship between donors and recipients, the probability of rejection after transplantation is reduced.

Third: adequate preparation. Because the operation is a selective operation, we can fully understand the donor, recipient's intrahepatic and extrahepatic blood vessels, biliary imaging before the operation, adjust the nutritional status of the recipient, improve the function of the important organs of the whole body, conduct sufficient preoperative discussion, and formulate a careful treatment plan.

matters needing attention

In fact, living donor liver transplantation is better than cadaveric liver transplantation, because living donor liver transplantation not only keeps the liver fresh, but also reduces rejection. Once rejection occurs in liver transplantation, the operation will fail. Living donor liver transplantation will reduce this failure.
