Liver transplantation is a routine treatment for end-stage liver diseases, with survival rates of 70%-80% due to improved preservation and surgical techniques. This study reports on 32 liver transplantations performed in Berlin, with 97% survival.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Transplant Surgery
  • Immunology

Context:

  • Liver transplantation is an established treatment for end-stage liver disease.
  • Indications include cirrhosis, fulminant hepatic failure, metabolic liver disease, and liver cancer.
  • Advances in organ preservation, surgical techniques, and immunosuppression have improved outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To review the current status and outcomes of liver transplantation.
  • To highlight the role of the University of Wisconsin solution in organ preservation.
  • To present the experience of liver transplantation in Berlin.

Summary:

  • Liver transplantation is increasingly utilized for end-stage liver diseases.
  • Improved organ preservation (University of Wisconsin solution) and surgical refinements contribute to success.
