Area of Science:

  • Pediatric surgery
  • Hepatology
  • Organ transplantation

Background:

  • The liver transplant program expanded to include pediatric patients following successful adult outcomes.
  • Initially, the program had a minimum age of 3 years and transplanted few children annually.
  • Advancements in reduced-size liver transplants enabled transplantation in younger children, including infants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the outcomes of the first 40 pediatric liver transplantations.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and initial results of liver transplantation in children.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of the first 40 pediatric liver transplant cases.
  • Inclusion of patients from infancy upwards.
  • Utilized reduced-size liver grafts.

Main Results:

  • Successful liver transplantation was achieved in 40 pediatric patients.
  • The program evolved to include infants, expanding the age range for liver transplants.
  • Good initial results were observed in the pediatric cohort.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric liver transplantation, including for infants, is feasible and yields good results.
  • Reduced-size liver grafts are crucial for successful infant liver transplantation.
  • The program's success in adults paved the way for pediatric expansion.
