Summary

Split-liver transplantation offers survival rates comparable to whole liver transplants, significantly increasing organ availability. Wider adoption can address the critical shortage of donor livers for patients needing transplants.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Transplantation immunology
  • Organ donation and procurement

Background:

  • Critical shortage of donor organs for liver transplantation.
  • Split-liver transplantation as a strategy to increase graft availability.
  • Historical challenges with split-liver transplantation include complexity and suboptimal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of split-liver transplantation.
  • To assess the impact of split-liver transplantation on addressing organ shortage.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 27 split-liver transplantations performed in 1995.
  • Livers were split to generate two grafts, with local and partner center utilization.
  • Data collected on patient and graft survival, complications, and graft availability.

Main Results:

  • One-year patient and graft survival rates were 79.4% and 78.5%, respectively.
  • Complication rates (arterial 15%, biliary 22%) did not lead to graft loss.
  • Primary nonfunction occurred in 4% of cases; overall graft availability increased by 28%.

Conclusions:

  • Split-liver transplantation achieves survival rates similar to whole liver transplantation.
  • Complication rates may decrease with increased surgical experience.
  • Widespread acceptance of split-liver transplantation can significantly boost donor liver supply.
