Orthotopic liver transplantation for hepatic complications of Wilson's disease.

Thirteen orthotopic liver transplantations were performed in 12 patients for hepatic complications of Wilson's disease between May 1988 and July 1992. Ten patients had fulminant hepatic failure and two chronic liver disease. One patient underwent retransplantation for liver abscess secondary to hepatic artery thrombosis. Nine patients survive at a median follow-up of 18 (range 6-31) months. Three patients have died: two from multiple organ failure and sepsis, one from B cell lymphoma. Postoperative complications included bleeding requiring laparotomy in two patients, renal impairment in five, bacterial septicaemia in three, fungal sepsis in two and acute cellular rejection in six. The nine surviving patients are well with normal liver function test results.

Gangrene of the anterior abdominal wall after orthotopic liver transplantation: invasive cutaneous candidiasis.

Fungal infections following liver transplantation are not uncommon and may be life-threatening. Superficial candidal infections of the bronchus, oesophagus and urinary tract are the most common mode of presentation. Invasive cutaneous and subcutaneous candidiasis is, however, very rare. We report two patients with invasive cutaneous and subcutaneous candidiasis after orthotopic liver transplantation.

Liver transplantation from living related donors: review of world experience and its implications for India.

Living related liver transplantation (LRLT) was made possible because of a better understanding of the anatomy of the liver and advances made in hepatic surgical techniques. It was developed to reduce the waiting period for pediatric recipients. In countries like Japan, which do not have brain stem death legislation, LRLT is the only modality available for treating end stage liver disease. The world experience has shown that LRLT has been successfully performed in a variety of conditions leading to acute and chronic liver failure not only in children, but in young adults as well. The initial results of LRLT appear to be better than liver transplantation from cadaveric organs in terms of graft survival and function. Donor safety has been of prime concern. LRLT has tremendous potential in India with or without the brain stem death legislation. Liver transplantation has not been performed in India although the need and expertise for it exists.
