[Specific program for perioperative care in paediatric liver transplantation]

Abstract

With increasing survival rates, liver transplantation has reached the mainstream of medical care. Due to the experience acquired with adult liver transplantation, the program of paediatric liver transplantation develops. The surgery technique and perioperative care have to reflect anatomic and physiologic differences in childhood. This report describes organisation and outcomes of the program of paediatric liver transplantation in Transplantcentre IKEM.
