[Liver transplantation: an experimental model with rats].

In this report the Authors describe their surgical technique of liver transplantation in the rat. The operation has been performed on fifty rats of 400 gms of weight, stabulated in standard conditions. The surgical technique has been extremely simplified, requiring only two end-two-end vascular anastomoses and another anastomoses between common bile duct and duodenum. Under the surgical point of view results are excellent, as demonstrated by the normal macroscopic appearance of the new transplanted liver, indicating a good revascularization; pre- and post-operative surgical complications are very rare. However, during the immediate post-operative course the incidence of mortality is high, because the occurrence of electrolytes imbalance can be responsible of cardiac arrest, respiratory insufficiency and pulmonary edema.
