[Transplantation technologies in pediatric liver resections]

Liver resections with transplantation technologies have been recognized as safe procedures for the last decades. These procedures may be the only curative option or alternative to liver transplantation in some cases. Moreover, these surgeries can also provide parenchyma-sparing liver resection. Nevertheless, higher postoperative morbidity and mortality compared to traditional hepatectomy require careful research of indications for liver resections with transplantation technologies, the role of vascular liver exclusion, methods of vascular reconstructions with or without anticoagulation. These challenges are more important for pediatric surgery due to few literature data on this issue. This review is devoted to liver resections with transplantation technologies.
