Abstract:
The authors inform about a model for auxiliary liver part transplantation in pig. Intra-abdominal narrowness which can lead to failure of the transplant can avoided by this model. In the transplant was carried out an extensive left resection with purse-string ligature of all visible vessels and cystic ducts. The resection surface is sealed by a tissue adhesive. An auxiliary transplanted part of the liver can also operate on a heterotopic location of the organism.
