Description
This volume describes living related donor liver transplantation (LRLT), a newly developed surgical technique. It presents the experiences of the Kyoto University Medical School, Japan, in relation to their highly successful series of transplantations performed on paediatric patients with end-stage liver diseases. The Kyoto group ascribes the improved patient survival to special perioperative management based on the Redox theory, which was proposed and developed by the author. The chapters in the book provide detailed information on all aspects of LRLT, including the application of the Redox theory, preoperative evaluation, the actual operations and postoperative care. Ethical considerations are discussed in a separate chapter. The clear descriptions of the techniques employed make this a beneficial guide for surgeons and physicians in the liver transplantation field as well as for liver surgeons and paediatric surgeons.
