Split liver transplantation is a viable technique to increase donor organ availability. This study found better outcomes for elective split liver transplants compared to urgent ones.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Transplantation Surgery
  • Organ Donation

Background:

  • The critical shortage of cadaveric liver grafts necessitates innovative strategies to broaden the donor pool.
  • Split liver transplantation emerges as a key alternative surgical technique.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and outcomes of split liver transplantation.
  • To compare the efficacy of split liver transplantation in urgent versus elective cases.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective, observational, longitudinal study of 18 split liver transplantations performed between April 1991 and October 2002.
  • Data collected included patient demographics, transplant type, ischemia times, blood product usage, and follow-up outcomes.
  • Ex situ splitting was performed in 33% of cases.

Main Results:

  • After a mean follow-up of 10.83 months, 55.56% of recipients were alive.
  • One-year actuarial patient and graft survival rates were 55.6% and 44.12%, respectively.
  • Elective transplantations demonstrated significantly higher 1-year survival rates (90.91% patient, 90% graft) compared to urgent cases (14.29% patient, 14% graft).
  • Late complications included arterial thrombosis, chronic rejection, and hepatitis recurrence.

Conclusions:

  • Split liver transplantation is an effective method for expanding the liver graft donor pool.
  • The procedure yields superior results in elective transplantations, highlighting patient selection as a critical factor.
