Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Hepatology
  • Transplant Surgery
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Liver transplantation in children has evolved substantially since its inception.
  • Significant advancements have been made in surgical techniques, organ preservation, and post-operative care.
  • Immunosuppression protocols have also seen considerable development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical aspects and theoretical underpinnings of pediatric liver transplantation.
  • Focus on pre-operative and post-operative management.
  • Discuss indications, contraindications, evaluations, and long-term outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review using Medline database.
  • Inclusion of recent review articles and personal files.
