    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology and Transplant Surgery
    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Liver transplantation is a critical treatment for end-stage liver diseases in children.
    • Pediatric liver transplant outcomes are generally superior to adult outcomes.
    • Advancements in surgical techniques and post-operative care have improved patient rehabilitation.

    Observation:

    • Eight pediatric orthotopic liver transplantations were performed between March 1984 and June 1985.
    • Indications included biliary atresia, biliary hypoplasia, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, and Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I.
    • Six out of eight patients survived, with a one-year Kaplan-Meier survival rate of 75%.

    Findings:

    • Surviving children demonstrated excellent clinical condition and normal liver function.
