[Regional results of human liver transplantation in Vienna].
21 cases of transplantation of the liver are analysed for indication, anaesthesia, operative management, anhepatic period, immunological therapy and specific post-operative problems (jaundice and rejection episodes). Causes of death are noted and prediction of survival gives a rate of 55%/1st year in the 17 patients operated on since 1982 under a standardised management schedule. The transplantation programme in Vienna provides routine treatment for otherwise untreatable primary (57% cases) and secondary metastatic (14%) tumours of the liver, and, in the second place, for end-stage hepatic cirrhosis (14%) and certain rare liver diseases (14%).
