LIVER TRANSPLANTATION FROM LIVING DONOR

Abstract

The author analyses the potential and shows the results of the liver transplantation in Republic of Singapore. The paper includes two lines of researches: cadaveric hepatic transplantation and liver transplantation from living donor. 102 transplantations have been performed, including 22 ones from living donors. Donor death-rate was 0,3%. Three recipients perished from venous thrombosis and sepsis. The author draws a conclusion that the liver transplantation from living donor is more expedient and worthwhile. Forecasting the increase in the number of analogous surgeries in the nearest future, he believes that researching and improving the transplantation technique is of great significance.
