| Abstract: | First clinical experience of the harvesting (donor) stage of orthotopic transplantation of the liver in Russia is represented. During 5-year period in National Research Center of Surgery RAMS 16 orthotopic transplantations of the liver were carried out. Surgical modes of harvesting of the donor liver are detailed ("standard" and "fast"), the regimes and methods of preservation of the liver were determined. The influence of various parameters on function of the graft in postoperative period was established. Adequate selection of donors, correct and proper choice of donor-recipient pair, limited time of preservation allow to decrease the number of graft function failure and to eliminate primarily nonfunctioning grafts. |
